A Japan Airlines plane collided with a parked Delta Air Lines flight that was waiting to take off at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on Wednesday, according to videos that circulated online.
Delta said that it had 142 passengers on board at the time of the accident, according to The New York Times. The plane was scheduled to fly to Mexico and was waiting for “de-icing” treatment when it was hit.
“There are no reports of injuries for crew or customers on the flight, and we apologize for the experience and delay in travels,” Delta said.
Japan Airlines did not release a statement.
The incidents comes after more than 60 people were killed when a helicopter collided midair with a passenger jet in Washington, D.C., last week, which was followed up several days later by a small plane slamming into a residential area in Philadelphia, killing all on board and wounding many on the ground.
