Video shows panicked Delta fliers fleeing small plane at Atlanta airport after massive jet smashed into its wing tip on runway

Footage from inside a Delta plane showed panicked passengers being escorted off after a collision with another flight on the runway of Americas busiest airport. 

The incident happened at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Tuesday, when a Tokyo-bound flight clipped the back of a jet headed for Louisiana. 

Footage captured by KSHB 41 producer Nathan Pike has since emerged, showing passengers aboard the much smaller aircraft being escorted from the jet by crew members after the frightening incident. 

Ground crew can be seen ushering those onboard onto the tarmac, as the camera pans round to show the devastation caused by the incident. 

Awaiting buses can also be seen waiting for those who had been onboard at the time of the crash.

Alongside his video, Pike said: Our Delta flight just got hit by another plane on the taxiway in Atlanta. 

Our flight was full of journalists on our way to our sister station in Lafayette, Louisiana, to help with hurricane coverage. 

Delta put us on busses and has corralled us into a private room at Atlanta Hartsfield.

Although there were a reported 277 passengers on board, no injuries were reported as a result of the calamity. 

Tampa meteorologist for WTFS TV Jason Adams also said he was aboard the regional plane at the moment of impact.

Well that was terrifying, he posted on X. Taxiing out for the flight from Atlanta to Louisiana and another plane appears to have clipped the back of our plane.

Very jarring, metal scraping sounds then loud bangs. We’re fine. No fire or smoke. Awaiting instructions.

Delta said that the Airbus rammed into the Lafayette-bound plane as it was sat on an adjacent runway, resulting in damage to the tail of the regional jet and the wing of the A350.

Following an incident at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport earlier today, Delta worked with each customer from flights DL295 to Tokyo-Haneda and DL5526 to Lafayette, Louisiana, to provide accommodation on alternate aircraft scheduled to depart Tuesday afternoon. 

We apologize to our customers for the experience. No customer or crew member injuries have been reported, and operations are continuing as normal at the Atlanta airport.

Meanwhile Delta is cooperating with the NTSB and other authorities while Delta TechOps teams prepare to safely move both aircraft to maintenance hangars.
