Delta jets clip 2 planes, truck in 24 hours at NY JFK
Delta Air Lines planes were involved in 3 wingtip collisions in separate low-speed accidents over 2 days at NY JFK, leaving one man injured. The NTSB said Thursday that it is investigating the accidents, indicating that they may be more serious than usual or that there may be a pattern. The first accident occurred Aug 15, when a Boeing 737 operated by Delta and an American Airlines Boeing 757 each were taxiing out for departure. The Delta plane’s left wing touched the American jet’s tail. The next day, a JFK ground crew was directing a Delta CRJ regional aircraft in a terminal ramp area when its left wing touched the right wing of a second Delta CRJ plane that was parked at the gate. An hour later, the left wingtip of a Delta MD-88 aircraft touched a flatbed truck as it was turning into a ramp area. <br/>
