A Southwest Airlines passenger traveling out of BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport shared a video with CBS News Baltimore after the plane he was on clipped another aircraft earlier this week. The video by Kevin White, who was heading home to Connecticut, showed the moments after two airplanes hit each other while leaving the gates on Monday, May 4. “It was almost like if you got rear-ended at a slow speed,” White said. “It was a good jolt.” White said he and his wife noticed how close the planes were when they sat down, but didn’t think anything of it. “I looked down, and we noticed that the wings were kind of close,” White said. “I said, ‘Well, they know what they’re doing.
Next thing you know, they bumped us.” According to both the FAA and Southwest Airlines, Southwest flights 1048 to Connecticut and 562 to Houston backed into each other and caused minor damage to the wingtips. Passengers on both flights were forced to change planes. Southwest said the planes were immediately removed from service. Review underway over Southwest flights Southwest said no passengers were injured, and an internal review is underway. In a statement, Southwest said, “Safety is their top priority for both passengers and employees.” “Hey, ground, Southwest 1048, we had contact between the 2 aircraft back here,” the pilot said. “We’re going to need to taxi straight ahead back to Alpha 7.”
