Two planes carrying 351 passengers crashed into each other at Los Angeles Airport which left a large chunk of the aircraft on the ground.
It happened when a United Airlines flight – which had just landed from New Jersey at Gate 73 at Terminal 7 – came into contact with an Alaska Airlines jet, which was departing from Gate 66.
Passengers aboard said they felt a ‘huge jolt’ and then saw part of the plane had snapped off.
No one was injured in the incident which happened around 7.45pm last night.
Diana Westmyer, a passenger on board the United flight, said she felt a huge jolt before the pilot asked passengers over the intercom to remain in their seats with their seat belts on.
She told CBS: ‘And then they came back and said we can’t move yet because they’re connected. They said they wanted everyone to sit back down because they were either going to pull us away from the other plane or pull the other plane away from us.’

She added how she could see a big piece of the plane on the ground which ‘had clearly broken off.’
Actor Peter Cambor tweeted: ‘So…the United plane I’m on was pulling into the gate at LAX and…another plane just RAN INTO US! Planes are stuck together.’
United Airlines said its plane had been ‘taxiing to the gate at a low speed’. The 169 passengers on board disembarked as normal as engineers inspected the aircraft.
In a statement Alaska Airlines reported its plane ‘was being pushed back from the gate about 7:45pm and its wing tip clipped another aircraft’.
The 182 passengers aboard the plane managed to continue their journey to Portland, Oregon, on a different aircraft around two hours later.
LAX Public Relations Director Nancy Castles said an investigation will determine the damage to the aircraft and who was at fault in the collision.
