Two planes collided while taxiing at Miami International Airport on Saturday night around 9 p.m. The wingtip of a Copa Airlines Boeing 737 struck the nose of a United Parcel Service Boeing 767 cargo plane.
The Copa Airlines jet was carrying 172 people at the time of the accident. County fire officials reported that two passengers sustained minor injuries as a result of the collision.
The incident took place one day after the Federal Aviation Administration issued an hours-long nationwide ground stop. That disruption was caused by communication issues affecting multiple air traffic control centers.
