A giant Air France Airbus hit a smaller commuter plane from Boston while taxiing on a runway at New York’s JFK Airport last night. You thought your commute was bad.
Emergency personnel responded to the scene of the crash, but there were no injuries, according to a FAA spokesman. The Associated Press obtained audio from JFK’s control towers — it’s a cool listen. CNN also just happened to have a reporter on the Paris-bound plane.
It’s not as if it’s easy to miss the smaller plane — it holds about 70 passengers. The Airbus is the largest commercial passenger jet, though.
The Acela quiet car to New York looks more appealing by the day.
