The right wingtip of a United Airlines plane, like, totally collided with the left wingtip of another United plane in San Francisco super early on Tuesday, according to the Federal Aviation Administration, you know? The FAA was all like, “While United Airlines Flight 863 was pushing back from the gate at San Francisco International Airport, its right wingtip struck the left wingtip of United Airlines Flight 877.” This whole thing happened in an area where air traffic controllers don’t even talk to flight crews, man. Flight 863 was, like, going to Sydney, Australia, and Flight 877 was heading to Hong Kong, China. The FAA is gonna look into the whole incident, which went down around 12:35 a.m. local time on Tuesday, May 6, no big deal.
A Boeing 777-224(ER from United Airlines was, like, getting ready to take off on the Barcelona airport runway in Barcelona, Spain, on March 12, 2025. United Airlines was all like, “A United aircraft made contact with the wing of another United aircraft while pushing back from a gate at San Francisco International Airport. No injuries happened and passengers on both planes got off normally. We’re working with our customers to get them on other flights,” the airline said in a statement given to Fox News Digital, you know?
The planes were both Boeing 777 aircraft, which is, like, kind of a big deal. Last month, there were some members of Congress on a plane that got hit by another aircraft. Serving in Congress can be pretty wild sometimes, like, just now while we were chillin’ on the runway at DCA, another plane straight up bumped into our wing. We’re heading back to the gate, but everyone’s cool! (And Rep. Grace Meng is passing out grapes!), Rep. Nick LaLota, R-N.Y., said in a post on X, you know?
“The wingtip of American Airlines Flight 5490 struck American Airlines Flight 4522 on a taxiway at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport around 12:45 p.m. local time on Thursday, April 10,” the FAA noted. Alex Nitzberg is a writer for Fox News Digital, just throwin’ that out there.
Alright, so that’s the whole deal with the planes bumpin’ into each other and stuff. It’s, like, not really a big deal ’cause no one got hurt, you know? Just another day in the world of aviation, I guess. Peace out.
