Plane at Reagan Airport carrying lawmakers bumps wings with another plane

Washington — Several members of Congress were on a plane that was sitting on the tarmac waiting to leave Washington on Thursday when it was clipped by another aircraft. 

American Airlines said no injuries were reported, and both aircraft returned to the gates at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. 

The wingtip of a plane bound for Charleston International Airport in South Carolina struck another plane that was headed to JFK International Airport in New York, according to the Federal Aviation Administration, which is investigating the incident.
