Delta plane clips another aircraft and appears to knock its tail off at Atlanta airport
No injuries were reported, and maintenance crews are evaluating for damage, Delta Air Lines said.
A Delta aircraft clipped the tail of another plane Tuesday morning at the Atlanta airport.
The collision happened just after 10 a.m. at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport while Delta Flight 295 was taxiing for departure and struck Endeavor Air Flight 5526, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.
Video taken at the airport appears to show the Endeavor plane with its tail hanging off its side.

How hard was it hit, i kinda hoped that it would have to be a really hard hit to knock the tail off?
Most structures are designed to deal with specific loads and stresses. If that structure experiences something it's not intended to experience then things like the tail being ripped off is not as hard as one would think.
