Planes clip wings at Bangkok airport

Investigators are looking into why two passenger planes clipped wings on the tarmac at Bangkok’s international airport, cracking a wing on one of the planes, Thai authorities said today.

No one was injured in the accident, which occurred late yesterday when a Singapore Airlines plane was taxiing to a gate and a Thai Airways plane was travelling to the runway for takeoff, said Surapol Isaragura, director of Thai Airways’ emergency operations.
