Speaker 1: Hundreds of passengers ran out of two planes on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: early warning night at San Francisco International Airport in the
Speaker 1: Untied States, after United Airlines Flight Bowing eight seven seven
Speaker 1: heading to Hong Kong kiss the wing of another United
Speaker 1: Airlines flight eight six three destined for Sydney in Australia,
Speaker 1: with some level of damages to both aircrafts while on
Speaker 1: grand operations preparing for takeoff, forcing almost half a thousand
Speaker 1: passengers inside the two large air carriers to deplane, and
Speaker 1: according to the US Federal Aviation Administration FAA, the incident
Speaker 1: did not cause harm to any of those on board
Speaker 1: the planes. This the United Airlines saying it has removed
Speaker 1: the two planes from services to enable the aircraft engineer
Speaker 1: diagnosed the level of damages and recommend appropriately for their repairs.
Speaker 1: For Zatnews Media stated that in the early warning hours
Speaker 1: at San Francisco International Airport, a moment of unexpected chaos
Speaker 1: unfolded as two United aircas Lines Bowing seven seventy sevens,
Speaker 1: massive machines carrying the hopes and plans of hundreds of passengers,
Speaker 1: collided on the tarmac. The incident, which occurred during routine
Speaker 1: ground operations, left travelers shaken but unharmed, and cast a
Speaker 1: spotlight on the intricate dance of aircraft movements and one
Speaker 1: of the nation's busiest airports. United flight eight seven seven,
Speaker 1: bound for Hong Kong and United Flight eight six three,
Speaker 1: destined for Sydney, became the center of attention as their
Speaker 1: wingtips grazed in a jarring encounter that halted both journeys
Speaker 1: before they could begin. The collision took place shortly after dawn,
Speaker 1: as Flight eight seven seven was being pushed back from
Speaker 1: its gate, a standard procedure where a tug vehicle maneuvers
Speaker 1: the aircraft away from the terminal. At the same time,
Speaker 1: Flight eight six three was taxiing nearby, navigating the complex
Speaker 1: network of taxiways that criss crossed the airport. The two planes,
Speaker 1: both bowing seven seven seven three Hudeurs, made contact in
Speaker 1: a slow but forceful scrape, leaving visible damage to their wingtips.
Speaker 1: Passengers aboard both aircraft, some of whom were preparing for
Speaker 1: long haul international flights, experienced a moment of confusion as
Speaker 1: the planes came to an abrupt stop. San Francisco International Airport,
Speaker 1: a hub for United Airlines, is no stranger to the
Speaker 1: high stakes choreography of ground operations, with planes moving like
Speaker 1: pieces on a chessboard, the margin for error is razor thin.
Speaker 1: Yet this incident underscored the challenges of managing such operations
Speaker 1: under pressure. Ground crews and emergency responders acted swiftly, cordoning
Speaker 1: off the area to assess the damage and ensure the
Speaker 1: safety of all involved. Remarkably, no injuries were reported, a
Speaker 1: testament to the protocols in place and the quick response
Speaker 1: of airport personnel. United Airlines, in a statement released shortly
Speaker 1: after the incident, expressed regret for the disruption to passengers
Speaker 1: plans and emphasized its unwavering commitment to safety. The airline
Speaker 1: confirmed that both aircraft were removed from service for detailed inspections,
Speaker 1: a process likely to involve engineers pouring over every inch
Speaker 1: of the damaged wingtips to determine the extent of repairs needed.
Speaker 1: For passengers, the cancelations meant rebooking on later flights, with
Speaker 1: some facing delays of several hours or more as United
Speaker 1: scrambled to accommodate them on alternative routes. CNN reported that
Speaker 1: the incident occurred for the second time in less than
Speaker 1: a month. The incident occurred about twelve thirty am local
Speaker 1: time in an area where air traffic controllers do not
Speaker 1: communicate with flight crews. The FAA added no injuries occurred
Speaker 1: and passengers on both planes deplaned normally. A United Airlines
Speaker 1: spokesperson said in a statement, we are working with our
Speaker 1: customers to rebook them on other flights. The FAA also
Speaker 1: is investigating an incident last month of Ronald Reagan Washington
Speaker 1: National Airport involving two American Airlines regional jets that bumped wings.
Speaker 1: The wingtip of American Airlines Flight fifty four ninety struck
Speaker 1: American Airlines Flight four five two two on a taxiway
Speaker 1: around twelve forty five page m The FAA said in
Speaker 1: a statement Flight fifty four ninety was headed to Charleston,
Speaker 1: South Carolina, while flight four five two two was headed
Speaker 1: to JFK International Airport in New York, with seven members
Speaker 1: of Congress on board. The April incident came as the
Speaker 1: Washington airport is coping with a series of recent incidents,
Speaker 1: including a mid air collision in January that left sixty
Speaker 1: seven people dead and a military flyover in March that
Speaker 1: came dangerously close to a departing plane. The latter prompted
Speaker 1: a federal investigation focusing on an air traffic control communications breakdown.
