(KOMO) Two Alaska Airlines jets were damaged when one aircraft bumped into the other while pulling out of a gate at Sea-Tac Airport on Wednesday morning.

Airport spokesman Perry Cooper said one of the Boeing 737s was pulling out of gate D1 just after 7 a.m. when its wing hit the horizontal stabilizer on the tail of another jet that was parked at gate C9.

No one was injured, but one of the planes had 239 passengers on board all were evacuated.

Cooper did not know where the planes were scheduled to fly, and further details about the incident were not immediately available.

Sorry that there wasn't anything spectacular to report on, channel 4. Though, I do applaud the use of "evacuation" to imply imminent danger.

Looks like C9 was MSP #36, now delayed from 7:00 to 8:25.
DFW #660 now departing out of N2 at 9:15, which may be the other flight, as 239 sounds about right for a 739, combined with a typo from a journo with fat fingers
