Check this out!! Not a good few days for Newark!!!
NEWARK, New Jersey (CNN) -- Two commercial planes bumped into each other Tuesday on a Newark International Airport runway, delaying hundreds of passengers on a trans-Atlantic flight.
Lufthansa flight LH403, headed to Frankfurt, Germany, bumped into another plane, said Lufthansa spokeswoman Jennifer Urbaniak. A wing on the Lufthansa Boeing 747 was damaged, she said.
In a statement, Lufthansa said there were 291 passengers, three infants and 17 crew members on board. No injuries were reported.
The second plane was an empty Continental Airlines Boeing 757, which was being relocated to a remote overnight parking spot "and was in a stationary position" when the contact occurred, the airline said in a statement.
It "was apparently brushed by a taxiing Lufthansa 747 aircraft," Continental said. "It appears that the 747's left wing brushed the 757's right wing."
The Lufthansa flight was canceled, said Alan Hicks, spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. He added the Federal Aviation Administration will investigate.
