Title: Planes Collide on JFK Airport Runway
Post by: jh212 on April 11, 2011, 08:29:43 PM: Did anybody else hear about the collision on the ground that happened today at about 2345Z and 0010Z?
It sounded like two regional jets hit one-another.
I may have the Zulu times wrong. It was between 745pm EST and 810pm EST

Yeah, without a doubt.

The CRJ could have heavy internal structural damage. It dosn't look too bad on the surface, but she took one hell of a jolt. I'm sure there is some internal structure damage...

For sure the CRJ will need the entire vertical and horizontal stabilizers and possibly some work in where they are mounted in the fuselage, but if you look down the side of the aircraft at the reflection, there is no sign of ripples indicating the fuselage was twisted by the impact.
