Travelers are wondering how two enormous airplanes could unexpectedly cross paths after a mid-air crash at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

While taxiing at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on Wednesday, a Japan Airlines aircraft collided with a parked Delta Air Lines aircraft. The wing of the Japanese plane was lodged in the tail of the Delta plane, which was motionless, after the impact.

The collision occurred on a taxi line between S Concourse and the south maintenance hangars of the airport at approximately 10:17 a.m. Police, SEA operations, and the Port of Seattle Fire Department all acted quickly to contain the incident. Thankfully, there have been no reports of injuries.

In order to guarantee that passengers are safely disembarked and brought to the terminal, airport officials have also collaborated with both airlines. The event had no effect on flight operations because it happened in a taxi lane.

Passengers and social media users have responded in shock to videos of the incident that have gone viral online. The incident became a popular debate as many people expressed their surprise at the uncommon mid-ground collision.

“So, we were sitting on the tarmac at SeaTac, and another plane ran into us—just casually sliced into our tail. Very scary,” one witness wrote on social media. The incident left many stunned. “This is insane,” one user commented, while another questioned, “How is this possible?”

Another described the moment of impact, “Sitting on the tarmac in #Seattle, and another plane just hit our wing. The plane shook. Loud. It was scary. Getting inspected now.”

As more people shared their thoughts on the situation, more comments poured in on social media. Some merely called it “wild,” incredulous, while others demanded explanations, wondering how an accident of this magnitude could have happened in spite of pilot and ground staff negligence.

There were also worries about the airport’s traffic. SeaTac had been packed for a while, according to one user, suggesting possible operational strain.

The tragedy caused some people to completely reevaluate flying. One individual acknowledged that they would not be “flying anytime soon,” while another echoed this statement, describing the circumstances as “very scary.”

Others were merely perplexed, finding it difficult to comprehend why these occurrences continue. Another user, however, called for greater vigilance, saying, “Whoo, be careful already—Geeze!”

According to Delta, there were 142 people on board the damaged Boeing 737 when it crashed. When the plane, registered as Flight 1921, was hit, it was getting ready to de-ice before taking off for Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

“There are no reports of injuries for crew or customers on the flight, and we apologize for the experience and delay in travels,” Delta stated. Meanwhile, Japan Airlines has yet to respond to requests for comment.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) stated that Flight 68 was the aircraft operated by Japan Airlines that was involved. The aircraft had just arrived from Tokyo after an eight-hour flight. The crash happened in an uncontrolled air traffic region. The FAA responded by initiating an inquiry into the incident and temporarily stopping some flights at the airport.

This incident occurs during a period when American aviation safety is under increased scrutiny. A terrible mid-air collision between a U.S. Army helicopter and an American Airlines plane over the Potomac River just last week cost 67 lives.

A small medical plane carrying six people crashed last Friday, January 31, close to a Northeast Philadelphia shopping district. It killed one person on the ground and left no survivors.

When a United Airlines flight from Houston to New York had to be evacuated on Sunday, worries increased even further. This came when one of its engines caught fire in midair. In addition to leaving passengers stunned, the SeaTac incident disrupted aircraft schedules, which further irritated many customers.

An assessment of the impact was given by FlightAware, a world leader in real-time aircraft tracking. Their data indicates that the crash caused a large number of cancellations and delays at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

There have been 15 delays at SeaTac as of right now, impacting both aircraft coming into and going out of the US. Fifteen flights, including those into and out of the United States, were also canceled as a result of the incident.

As the number of cancellations and delays increased, travelers were forced to make last-minute changes to their travel schedules, making the already hectic situation even more complicated.
