Moment United plane collides with a Delta aircraft on the tarmac at Boston’s Logan Airport

Passengers on board a Delta flight caught on camera the moment a United Airlines plane collided with their aircraft on the tarmac at Boston’s Logan Airport – forcing all passengers to deplane and rebook their tickets. 

The two vehicles collided Friday afternoon as the parked Delta plane was waiting to take off for Detroit.

Video posted online showed the United aircraft slowly backing up into the Delta plane, with a spokesperson for the airline confirming to WCVB that its winglet grazed the tail end of the other aircraft.

‘Customers on the United aircraft deplaned normally at the gate, and we will rebook them onto other flights,’ the United spokesperson said, noting that there were 128 passengers on board the flight headed to Newark, New Jersey.

Passengers on board the Delta flight were also rebooked on another flight that arrived an hour later, and the airline apologized for the inconvenience by ordering the customers pizzas, one passenger wrote online.

Another passenger, Daniel Frederickson, pulled out his cellphone as he saw the United flight approaching.

‘We were driving through the tarmac, and I saw this other plane stationary, and it hit the other plane,’ the boy who was traveling to Brazil with his family told the local news station.

‘I knew it was going to happen, so I caught it on video.’

In that footage, Daniel could be heard saying, ‘It’s not gonna, it’s not gonna, it’s not,’ as the United flight slowly backs up into the wing of the Delta plane.

‘Oh, it did,’ another child says as the two planes collide.

Daniel said he could ‘feel the planes bumping together,’ and said the experience was ‘a little bit scary.’

Emergency vehicles rushed to the scene following the crash, with other footage showing fire rescue crews on the tarmac.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and after about half an hour the United Airlines plane was slowly towed back to the airport, according to video posted to Twitter by passenger Alex Wilson.

He shared that the passengers were all rebooked onto another flight that was scheduled to depart just an hour later, and posted a photo of Delta crew members providing passengers with pizza in an effort to apologize for the inconvenience.

Wilson said the passengers were ‘in good spirits’ despite the crash, tweeting: ‘Kudos to Delta for the professionalism and quick rebooking.’

DailyMail.com has reached out to Delta for more information on how many passengers were on board that flight and the extent of the damage. 

The collision at Logan came just a few months after two United airplanes collided at the airport.

In that case, one airliner was being pushed backwards out of its bay and its right wing fouled on the horizontal stabilizer at the rear of an adjacent plane.

‘While pushing back from its gate earlier today at Boston Logan, the wing of one United aircraft made contact with the wing of another United plane parked at the neighboring gate,’ United Airlines said in a statement. 

All passengers were also rebooked onto different flights in that case.
