Two Ryanair planes crashed at Stansted Airport this morning (June 28), causing three hour delays and evacuations.
At about 6.50am a Warsaw-bound Boeing 737-800 and a Franfurt Hahn Boeing that had just landed collided.
The crash damaged the wing tip of one plane and the tail cone of the other as one aircraft was merely being "pushed back".
Essex Police were called to the scene to evacuate staff and crew and also breath test the two pilots.
A spokesman said no one was injured.
A passenger on the Warsaw-bound plane reportedly said on Twitter: "Huge loud crashing noise and totally felt the crush sitting at the back. "Thank God it only hit the wing as if it was the body of the plane it'd been apocalypse."
Both planes can carry up to 189 passengers.
A Stansted Airport spokesperson said: "We can confirm two aircraft were involved in a minor collision while on the ground at Stansted this morning. "Both planes suffered some damage but there were no reported injuries to passengers or crew.
"The airport is operating as normal while an Air Accidents Investigation Branch investigation takes place.
"Passengers from the outbound flight have been offloaded onto an alternative aircraft to continue their journey."
