San Francisco’s ABC affiliate reports:
United Airlines officials said that two of their planes were involved in a collision on the ground at the gate at San Francisco International Airport overnight Monday.
The FAA says while United Airlines Flight 863 was pushing back from the gate at SFO, its right wingtip struck the left wingtip of United Airlines Flight 877. Both planes were on the ground.
In an ATC recording, you can hear the ramp controller telling the pilot of Flight 863 that they are “pushing pretty deep” and to make sure the other plane is watching them. No injuries occurred and passengers on both planes deplaned normally, officials said.

Really looking forward to forward to seeing how @SecDuffy pins the blame for this one on someone else. https://t.co/qXCQKXt7pk
