Collision at Sea Tac airport

Two southwest airline planes had to be placed out of service due to a collision at the international airport

Seattle times informed that it was a slow moving collision following which the planes were removed from service. Early Monday morning, around 6.30 am was when this collision took place.

 Awaiting towing for boarding the planes were fine until one of them, a Boejing 737 rolled forward, by mistake and the front of the plane then clashed with the wing of another waiting plane.

This was reported by the times after speaking to a spokesman from the airport where the incident took place. A thorough analysis is being carried out as to what the cause was and both planes are not in use at the moment. There were no injuries and no serious damage occurred however an investigation is still being carried out to avoid the like happening again.

Speaking to the times Mr. Cooper insisted that the accident was a rare occurrence and “all of the airlines are very safe about moving them around”. However according to Mike Cantrell this should never have happened. Speaking to KIRO he believed there was no excuse and indicated that the financial loss for an occurrence like this is very high.

A southwest spokeswoman wrote to the times telling them that the aircrafts are both being thoroughly examined to determine whether any repairs should be carried out before resuming services. When they will return to service and how long the whole evaluation will take has not been made clear for both the jets. All that is known is Southwest’s current investigation to identify the cause of this expensive and inexcusable collision.

With two planes out of service delays are expected however workers are trying their best to assist the passengers affected by this Sea-Tac incident. A close up view of the collision was provided by NBC DFW.  A quick thinking worker also filmed the incident from where she was which gave a new angle to analyze. Unfortunately just less than a month ago Oakland international airport had a similar incident where the wings off two southwest planes clashed.

 Although again there were no injuries and no serious damage was done, it was significantly expensive and two similar events in one month indicates that the whole system needs to be thoroughly analyzed and necessary changes must be made to ensure that these accidents do not become a frequent occurrence.
