A Delta aircraft clipped the tail of another plane Tuesday morning at the Atlanta airport.

The collision happened just after 10 a.m. at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport while Delta Flight 295 was taxiing for departure and struck Endeavor Air Flight 5526, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.

Video taken at the airport appears to show the Endeavor plane with its tail hanging off its side.

Endeavor is owned by Delta, so this is really "large Delta plane collides with a smaller Delta plane."

Gotta love the cup game the airline industry plays.

Normally, the tail doesn't fall off, but in this instance, the tail did fall off.

How hard was it hit, i kinda hoped that it would have to be a really hard hit to knock the tail off?

Most structures are designed to deal with specific loads and stresses. If that structure experiences something it's not intended to experience then things like the tail being ripped off is not as hard as one would think.
