Two Delta planes collided on the taxiway at Atlantas Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport on Tuesday morning, leaving one of the planes on the tarmac with a nearly severed tail, photos show.

Both aircraft were preparing to take off just after 10 a.m. when the wing of the larger plane, an Airbus A350 heading to Tokyo, struck the tail of a CRJ-900 jet heading to Lafayette, Louisiana, Delta said in a statement.

Video and photos posted to social media show the tail of the smaller plane operated by Endeavor Air, a subsidiary of Delta folded over at a 90-degree angle.
