Two planes were seen colliding on the tarmac at New York’s LaGuardia Airport on Friday as the airport struggled with both serious delays that were brought on by poor weather and shortages in staff.

This was due to the historic governemnt shutdown as shared by The Post. A United Airlines plane returning back from Orlando, Florida was turning towards the arrival gate when it clipped the tail of another United Jet on the taxiway as shared by the spokesperson for the airline.

The clipped plane, which was waiting to be taxied for its journey to Houston, was stationary at the time. They all felt a major bump during the taxi to the runway, but did not know if it was another plane until the captain shared that it was. The video shared online showed a rush of emergency vehicles at the scene after the incident.

Both planes turned back to the gate and all the passengers were deplaned. There were no injuries that were reported at the time among both planes’ 328 passengers and 15 crew members. Maintenance personnel were seen evaluating the clipped plane for any kind of malfunctions following this collision.
