Japan Airlines Plane Strikes Delta Air Lines Aircraft At Seattle | At Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, a Japan Airlines plane collided with a parked Delta Air Lines aircraft on Wednesday, February 5, 2025. Japan Airlines Flight 68 had just arrived from Tokyo. The plane’s right wing struck the tail of Delta Air Lines Flight 1921 during taxiing operations. The Delta aircraft, a Boeing 737, was stationary and in line for de-icing. It was preparing for its scheduled departure to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, with 142 passengers on board.
Eyewitness accounts describe a scene of confusion and alarm. Jackie Patton, a passenger on the Delta flight, told The New York Times how she experienced “violent shaking in the plane and a really loud crunching sound.” The impact was significant enough to leave the wing of the Japan Airlines plane impaled on the tail of the Delta jet, as captured in videos shared on social media.
