2 Planes Bump Wings At D.C.'s Reagan National Airport
HuffPost
No one was injured in the close call involving two American Airlines jets, whose passengers included members of Congress heading home on recess.
At least six members of Congress were aboard a passenger jet whose wing was clipped by another plane as it awaited takeoff at D.C.’s Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
Reps. Grace Meng (D-N.Y.), Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), Nick LaLota (R-N.Y.), Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) and Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.) all shared on social media that they were on board the flight that got side-swiped. Meng told The New York Times that Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-N.Y.) was also aboard, and Meeks indicated there was one more member of Congress seated.
In a video post, Meng said everyone was safe.
“Hi everyone, I’m OK. Everyone on the flight is OK. They’re fixing the wing now. Everyone’s safe,” Meng said.
“While waiting to take off on the runway at DCA just now, another plane struck our wing. Thankfully, everyone is safe. Just a reminder: Recent cuts to the FAA weaken our skies and public safety,” Gottheimer wrote, noting that the Trump administration fired hundreds of Federal Aviation Administration employees in February.
