It looks like a Delta jet chopped the tail off of a Canada Regional Jet (CRJ) taxiing in Atlanta.

Delta plane clips another aircraft and appears to knock its tail off at Atlanta airport

A Delta aircraft clipped the tail of another plane Tuesday morning at the Atlanta airport.

The collision happened just after 10 a.m. at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport while Delta Flight 295 was taxiing for departure and struck Endeavor Air Flight 5526, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.

Video taken at the airport appears to show the Endeavor plane with its tail hanging off its side.

Planes are supposed to move on painted lines on the tarmac.

These accidents only happen because one planes does not follow this rule.

Every time that I've seen this, it was because a large jet was cutting the corner and the pilot forgot the wingspan.

"... all right, pilot, on the ground.
Show me your hands."
