ALL four pilots involved in a horrifying runway plane collision which saw one jet slice through another’s tail fin have been suspended.

Harrowing footage showed a Boeing shred through a stationary Airbus while on the tarmac – just moments before it was set to take off.

Nearly 400 passengers disembarked both flights

Hundreds were left stranded after the shocking accident which unfolded in front of terrified passengers who watched debris scatter across the runway.

The two Vietnam Airlines aircraft smashed into each other at Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi, Vietnam on June 27 – with both aircraft carrying a total of 386 passengers.

The Ho Chi Minh City-bound Boeing 787 was taxiing for take-off when it struck an Airbus A321, parked on the tarmac, waiting to head to Dien Bien.

Vietnam Airlines has now suspended the four pilots involved – two from each jet.

Meanwhile, investigators are still probing the exact cause of the crash.

Initial findings have suggested human error, due to the fact the Airbus was not parked correctly on the runway at the time of the smash.

The dramatic collision took place at the intersection of taxiways S and S3, under clear weather conditions.

In the shocking footage, a blue Airbus can be seen taxi-ing just moments before take-off.

But seconds later, another jet’s right wing rips through the rear section of the stationary aircraft – almost like butter.

Frightened passengers watched in disbelief as they saw parts of the plane’s tail stabilizer shoot off onto the floor.

Both planes immediately disembarked hundreds of panicked flyers after the accident.

And they were given replacement flights to board shortly after.

An independent team hired by the airline are investigating the crash, alongside the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam.

The terrifying footage comes after a recent string of horror aviation accidents.

Heartstopping footage showed the moment an American Airlines flight saw smoke and sparks flying from the plane’s engine.

Harrowing video of the incident was shared on social media, showing puffs of smoke and orange sparks coming from the plane’s engine.

And last week, a Ryanair flight crashed into a barrier and suffered a badly smashed wing after landing at a Greek airport.

The Boeing 737 suffered “severe turbulence” during the flight, before those onboard heard a huge bang as the aircraft landed and collided with a barrier.
