boss man: "Okay team 😀 good to see you all here. Now unfortunately we need to go over some stuff 😕 again and it's not 🚫 good. Remember how before we talked about how planes aren't supposed to be touching each other...?"

The larger plane needed to show dominance
I guess they need to increase the delta between the planes....
Pete Buttigieg, you're having a bad years.
Edit: this is what happens when you do political favors and appoint a politician to a nontrivial, professional position.
I’m never getting on a plane again
Poor lil guy
I’m personally excited to hear about a delta flight that made it out of the gate.
“Bitch, I’m a plane”
I think we have different definitions of "clips"
'Tis but a scratch!
It's not like the front fell off
I mean, for large enough values of "front," the front did fall off.
Good thing they got it out of the environment.
Val shipLength = 200ft
Val frontOfShipLength = 200ft
The big fish eat the little ones.
Just wanna drop in to say that the people responsible for keeping the planes the planes from getting romantic on the ground are the same people who chaperone them in the air.
Most airports have separate controllers for taxiway coordination and for runway and air coordination. Many larger airports separate tasks further, like having a separate approach controller. So, usually different people.
Same qualification though. You need to be a qualified ATC to clear a taxi, and air law states that the ground rolling stage as soon as the plane is moving under its own power is part of the flight. It goes as far as this is a flight accident and will be treated accordingly.
A lot more room to maneuver in the air, though. Like a third dimension and stuff
Yeah but on the ground you can roll slower than 250 kph though.
You probably don't want to do much rolling in the air
Ooof... That looks EXpensive and not just for the CRJ. The larger plane (it looks like an A350, but not sure) is going to need its wing structure and wing box all thoroughly inspected. Outside of the engines, those are the two most expensive structures on an airplane. Not saying that it is going to be a write off for either plane, but it is a possibility. I'm curious if the bending moment of that impact was outside what the larger plane's wing box was designed for. That force had to be huge, given the length of the wings on the large plane.
I look forward to seeing the analysis from some of the better aviation Youtubers on this one.
My plane daddy can beat up your plane daddy.
The back fell off
'Tis but a scratch
That's not typical. I'd just like to point that out.
Some of them are built so that the back doesn't fall off at all.
They should just fly it out of the environment.
Two delta planes collided on the tarmac, but they call the smaller plane an endavor plane so they can pay the pilots less.
Endeavor is owned by Delta.
Will be interesting to see who's fault this is.... Sounds like ground ATC.
I don't remember fully about that airport(after all, it is a full 20 mins from my house) but as i recall this is a major Delta hub, and because of that the entire section where they board and then move to taxi is all Delta only.
Side of the plane even says Delta...
That probably just scraped off from the other plane like when a car leaves an imprint of their license plate during a crash.
It’ll buff right out
Slap some speed tape on there and you're good to go.
Was it a Boeing? Just take a bit of tape from the door.
Nope, one was an Embraer and the other looks like an Airbus
Edit: Looks like the smaller one was a Bombardier CRJ900 and the bigger one was an Airbus A350
Wonder if it was the pilot or the ATC.
I'd lean towards ATC.
That'll buff right out. No need to get insurance involved.
It's just the small wings they still got the big ones
