The top of
the tip of the wing was ripped off, and an airport worker could later be seen
in passenger photos carrying the damaged portion.
No
injuries were reported. There were 143 passengers aboard each plane.Both planes
were able to leave the tarmac using their own propulsion systems after the incident.
