An already hectic holiday travel day was made more chaotic with two separate plane collisions on the tarmac at Boston Logan International Airport just hours apart on Monday.
In the first crash, an American Airlines jet that was taxiing to its gate clipped the wing of a parked Frontier Airlines plane, local ABC affiliate station WCVB reported.
“That was terrible. It was very scary. All of a sudden, ‘thump.’ It sounded like something fell from below,” Evelyn Pipione, a Frontier passenger
...
Video obtained by Storyful shows the battered wing of the smaller Frontier plane underneath the wing of the larger American aircraft.
“So, you can see the wing actually broke on the bottom, so the bigger plane — the wing is over, and then ours is cracked at the bottom,” Douglas Garcia, who took the footage
....
The American Airlines plane had just come from London’s Heathrow Airport while the Frontier flight was set to take off to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.
Passengers and crew members were removed from both aircraft so the planes could be inspected for damage, and the Texas-bound Frontier flight was canceled — just three days before Thanksgiving
...
Hours later, a JetBlue airplane that was being towed by a vehicle smacked into a Cape Air plane that had just landed at Logan from Nantucket and was waiting for a gate to open..
The Cape Air plane was occupied by two pilots and three passengers, while the JetBlue aircraft was vacant.
...
The FAA and the different airlines are investigating the two collisions.
