The Federal Aviation Administration says a Delta Airbus A350 and an Endeavor Bombardier CRJ900 jet clipped each other Tuesday morning on the tarmac at an Atlanta airport.

The FAA said in a statement to Fox News Digital that “while Delta Air Lines Flight 295 was taxiing for departure at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, its wingtip struck the tail of Endeavor Air Flight 5526.”

“The Delta Airbus A350 was headed to Tokyo. The Endeavor Bombardier CRJ900 was headed to Lafayette, Louisiana,” the agency added. “The FAA will investigate the incident, which occurred at the intersection of two taxiways around 10:10 a.m. local time on Tuesday, Sept. 10.”

Images being posted on social media show heavy damage to the tail of one of the planes, whose vertical stabilizer appears to have been severed from the aircraft.

“Well that was terrifying. Taxiing out for the flight from Atlanta to Louisiana and another plane appears to have clipped the back of our plane,” WFTS Meteorologist Jason Adams posted on X. “Very jarring, metal scraping sounds then loud bangs. We’re fine. No fire or smoke.”

Delta said in its own statement that “the wing of an Airbus A350 taxiing out as DL295 from Atlanta to Tokyo-Haneda made contact with the tail of an Endeavor Air CRJ-900, DL5526 to LaFayette, Louisiana, on an adjacent taxiway, resulting in damage to the tail of the regional jet and the wing of the A350. 

“There have been no reported injuries at this time,” the airline said. “There were 221 customers on DL295 and 56 customers on DL5526. At this time, no additional operational adjustments are expected. “

Delta later issued a second statement saying it has “worked with each customer… to provide accommodation on alternate aircraft scheduled to depart Tuesday afternoon. We apologize to our customers for the experience.”

Delta says “there have been no reported injuries at this time and customers are being transported back to the terminal where they will be reaccommodated on alternate flights.” (WANF )

“Meanwhile Delta is cooperating with the NTSB and other authorities while Delta TechOps teams prepare to safely move both aircraft to maintenance hangars,” it also said.

After a freak accident left him paralyzed, a Florida officer walked into retirement — literally one step at a time.

Over two years ago, Master Deputy Harold “Hal” Davis of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) fell from a ladder while doing yard work at his home, leaving him unable to walk, officials with the OCSO posted on X.

“Doctors told Master Deputy Hal Davis he may never walk again. Today he stepped into his retirement party,” the post said.

In a video, Davis walked into his retirement party unassisted.

Davis served on the force with the OCSO for 17 years but spent a total of 32 years in law enforcement.

Since his fall, Davis has been using a wheelchair, but throughout his recovery, he “was determined to walk again and finish his career with OCSO,” according to the post.

Despite the accident, which left Davis with a severe spinal cord injury and unable to breathe as his wife administered CPR, he has had a strong recovery, Fox 10 Phoenix reported.

The OCSO noted that Davis served Orange County in a variety of ways, including as a court security deputy and as part of the court security response team.

“[He] was honored for training judges and state attorneys on courtroom safety,” OCSO officials wrote on social media.

Davis also defied the odds in March 2023 by walking his daughter down the aisle at her wedding, a dream he thought had been shattered after his accident, according to Fox Television Stations.

Davis and his wife, Cynthia, have been keeping their friends updated on his recovery journey through a GoFundMe account.

Davis’ retirement ceremony took place Aug. 30 and was welcomed by his family and fellow officers with joyous applause.

“Congratulations on your retirement, Hal! Your service has been invaluable, and your resilience continues to be inspiring,” the OCSO’s post said.

Students in Barrow County, Georgia will return to school next week with “extra support and security, including more law enforcement” in the wake of the Apalachee High School shooting, the district’s superintendent says. 

In a message sent out to parents, Dallas LeDuff says classes “will resume for all students, except for those at Apalachee High School, on Tuesday, Sep. 10. 

“We believe we need to be together as soon as possible to move forward and to provide some sense of familiarity for our students,” he said. “For our Apalachee families, we will send a message to you separately with information about returning.” 

“We know these are challenging times, and we are here for you,” LeDuff added. “We will have extra support and security, including more law enforcement, at each of our schools.”

The announcement comes just days after a suspected student shooter opened fire at Apalachee High School in Winder on Wednesday, killing four and injuring nine others. 

“We are in this together, and as a community, we will continue to care for one another,” LeDuff also said in his message. 

The four who are deceased following the shooting have been identified as students Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, both 14, and math teachers Richard Aspinwall and Cristina Irimie.

Last night, hundreds of people gathered for a vigil to honor the victims, according to Fox5 Atlanta. 

“There has never been a more important moment for community than now. The best and most important thing for us to do is to be here for one another,” Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., was quoted as saying.
