Planes at Reagan clip wings
Two US Airways planes clipped wings while on the ground Saturday morning at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
Airline spokesman Morgan Durrant said no one was injured in the incident, which occurred at about 9:30 a.m. However, there was enough damage that Flight 1703 to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., had to be canceled. Durrant said all 143 passengers had been accommodated on other flights.
The other plane was a weekend shuttle arriving from LaGuardia Airport. It had 91 passengers.
