Two Delta Jets Collide at Logan - Developing
 
http://www.bostonherald.com/news/reg...ome&position=0

Looks like the RJ took the brunt of it...

Those poor DL-Connection CRJ-X planes!

First the tail totally mangled by the AF A380 in JFK. Now another one mangled by a big-brother 767 in BOS. :eek:

Looks like the 767's winglet is stuck in the CRJ's tail!

yikes....
 
Glad I decided to spend the afternoon eating cannoli in the North End instead of a Delta flight tonight.....Sometimes taking some time to relax has additional unexpected benefits!

Hopefully everyone is ok.

One less CRJ... Oh darn.

Indeed, I hope everyone is okay, but this appears to be a CRJ-900, so first class! Why couldn't this have been a CR7? We need less of those.

Boston.com is reporting the 767 is the BOS to AMS flight...no word on the RJ yet.

CR7s have first class now too. It's the CRJs that need to go.

I *think* it's 4904, operated by ASA. It's the only CR9 that has a departure time near there. (650pm) actual departure (706) and DL.com shows the status as "Awaiting Takeoff" Flightaware delisted 4904 for 7/14.

Strange... they updated the article to say it was a Comair flight, but you can see the ASA logo in picture 1.

It is a ASA Aircraft... BOS-RDU flight.. CRJ900...

Glad everybody is ok.

Geez though... took two planes out, and its not like there are extra 767s in the BOS area for that flight. Wonder whats going to happen with the equipment.

EDIT - Statement just released from Delta:
"While taxiing out for departure, the wing from Flight 266 from Boston to Amsterdam made contact with the vertical stabilizer of ASA Flight 4904, also on departure from Boston to Raleigh-Durham. Flight 266 returned to the gate and passengers deplaned without incident. Passengers on ASA Flight 4904 deplaned and were transported by bus to the terminal. Both aircraft have been removed from service for inspections and passengers are currently being reacommodated on other aircraft"
