Two Delta Air Lines Planes Collide on Runway in Atlanta, Georgia

Two Delta Air Lines planes collided on a runway in a shocking scene at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Tuesday.

The morning incident reportedly occurred when one flight was taxiing on the runway, about ready to take off for Louisiana.

According to eyewitnesses, the other plane clipped the back end of the flight … terrifying people onboard.

Meteorologist Jason Adams for WTFS-TV Tampa, who was on one of the planes, described the collision as “very jarring.”

He added … “Metal scraping sounds then loud bangs. We’re fine. No fire or smoke.”

Per Adams, passengers were soon evacuated onto the tarmac, and awaited further instruction.

The cause of the incident is under investigation. Hartsfield-Jackson is the world’s busiest airport.

A rep for Delta tells TMZ … “On taxi out, the wingtip of Delta Flight 295 (Atlanta-Haneda) came in to contact with Endeavor Flight 5526 (Atlanta to Lafayette, La.). No injuries have been reported. Maintenance crews are evaluating for damage, and Customer Care is working to re-accommodate both flights as quickly as possible. We apologize to our customers for the delay and inconvenience to their travel.”
