Vietnam: Boeing, Airbus Collision at Hanoi Airport
Share on:

Shocking video captured a Vietnam Airlines Boeing 787 colliding with a parked Airbus A321 at Noi Bai Airport in Hanoi, Vietnam. The incident occurred last Friday when the Boeing, en route to Ho Chi Minh City, collided with the Airbus awaiting clearance for Dien Bien.

The Boeing's wing struck the Airbus's rudder, causing significant damage. The four pilots (two from the Boeing and two from the Airbus) have been suspended. An investigation into the cause of the incident is underway, with preliminary indications suggesting the Airbus was not properly parked. There were no injuries among the 386 passengers.

An independent team of experts and the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam are investigating the incident.
