Collision at Heathrow
Two big passenger jets clipped each other while taxiing on a runway at London’s Heathrow Airport October 15th, but there were no injuries, officials said.
“It was a minor collision in between two planes who just clipped each other,” a London fire brigade spokesman said, speaking anonymously in line with the brigade’s policy. “There was no fire, no injuries, no damage.”
The planes involved were a British Airways Boeing 747 and a Sri Lankan Airlines Airbus A340, and it was the night we arrived in London and were delayed due to the accident.
That brings up the question of "Will the worlds busiest airport be hampered or helped by the expansion?" In the meantime it does give one pause as the "Open Skies" treaty rolls into effect in March 2008
