DL wings clip at MSP
Local media are reporting that a Compass RJ and a DL mainline aircraft (about to perform MSP-LAX) clipped wings at MSP st about 8:30 pm local time tonight, just over 90 minutes ago. Both aircraft returned to the terminal. There were no reports of injuries so far.

^ No reports of injuries
Of all the planes to clip wings, a 757 and an E170/175... why couldn't it have been a 737 and a CRJ?

Personally, my current most hated DL aircraft beyond the CRJ is any domestic configuration 767 (with the coffin narrow recliner seats and tiny overhead bins). Those interiors look old, tired, worn, filthy, and depressing.

Some people would also like to see all Canadian geese on the dinner table. Sorry if they're your relatives.

I know it's mostly personal preference, but I just cannot stand the narrowbody Airbii.

My second best upgrade of the year happened in MSP with a domestic 767; my inbound flight from DCA arrived about 7 minutes before scheduled departure of the 767; I somehow emerged from row 25 of the MD-90, ran over to the 767 gate (in F concourse), and, amazingly, they hadn't closed the door, and, even more amazingly, the little piece of paper popped out of the BP reader that made my night (I was GM then).
