US probes collision of southwest plane, truck at Baltimore airport
The FAA Monday was investigating a collision between a Southwest Airlines aircraft and a truck at Baltimore-Washington International as the airline faced scrutiny over a mid-air engine explosion last month that killed a passenger. The FAA said it is investigating after Southwest Airlines jet and a truck collided as the Boeing 737 pulled into a gate at about midnight. Passengers got off the plane using air stairs that are pulled to the aircraft, the agency said. There were no injuries reported to the 172 passengers aboard, the FAA said. "As with any event, we will conduct an internal investigation to learn what happened in the interest of safety. It would be irresponsible to provide details until we've had time to thoroughly review the facts," a Southwest spokeswoman said. <br/>
