Before the ignorance starts to come out in the Comments section, please be advised: (1) these were NOT Boeing aircraft; (2) Trump had nothing to do with this; and (3) DEI had nothing to do with this. Thank you.

Atlanta Hartsfield is one of the busiest airports in America. Luckily no injuries. Air traffic controllers are overworked.

United Airlines management must be saying to each “ wow, what a great day . For once it was not us that screwed up “ 😂😂

[sebrinahampton]

And this is why you gotta stay seated on the taxi way.

Was this air traffic controller error? Pilot error? We don’t know. This is not as simple as a car accident case.

Imagine the insurance information they have to exchange now.

My son is an air traffic controller at a MAJOR airport here in the US and I can absolutely tell you the work schedules they require them to work because of staffing shortages is nothing less than abusive. The sleep deprivation across the board is staggering. Government will waste money all over the place and are so messed up that they put the public safety at risk by not budgeting enough to properly staff ATC positions around the country. These individuals should be the most well rested people we employ based on the level of stress and sharp reflexes they need. It’s a miracle today’s collision wasn’t worse.

The guy with the bigger plane has the right of way 🤣

Imagine being known as the pilot that crashed the plane before even leaving the runway...

[BalticBoyWandering]

Dawg it ain’t that deep. Airports work around the clock without issues all year and of course one minor accident with no casualties or injuries whatsoever results in the end of the world

Imagine driving your car or truck thru a crowded super Walmart parking lot with a board sticking out 100 feet on each side. Now imagine you can't even see the ends of the board from the drivers seat. Welcome to my world !

This is a bad time of year for plane crash news.

[particulatematter]

"We can't have this happening at US airports." Just foreign airports is fine.

[Geoffr]

There is quite the wingspan on the A350-900 and way behind the pilots, so I wonder if one or both were turning near the intersection of where the crash occurred?

[Rio]

DIDNT the Pilot notice a plane was there & they might hit it.

It’s happening more frequently. FAA needs to crack down. Reduce the flights if you can’t manage the flight load.

[JnIII]

When the FAA lowered the standards for Air Traffic Controllers, incidents like this skyrocketed...

[EwokNinjaParty]

Makes me think of the disaster on Tenerife airport in 1977, lucky that the slices of Swiss cheese didn't line up today.

Sheesh I’ll take a train. Fast railways in this country needs to happen! They should ask this question at the debates tonight.
