Planes clip wings at SEA, passengers deplane
Two Alaska Airlines planes clipped wings at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Saturday afternoon, prompting passengers to deplane.
According to a statement from the FAA, Alaska Airlines Flights 1190 and 1094 clipped wings in the gate area at SeaTac around 12:15 p.m.
Alaska Airlines confirmed that ground-service tugs were pushing back two Alaska Airlines aircraft from their gates when the winglets touched.
There were no injuries, but passengers were deplaned as the flights were swapped to other aircraft and departed.
Alaska Airlines added, 'We sincerely apologize to our guests for the delay and inconvenience.'
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will be investigating.

Readers critique The Post: Spelling bees are pointless. So is correct spelling.
Every week, The Post runs a collection of letters of readers' grievances — pointing out grammatical mistakes, missing coverage and inconsistencies. These letters tell us what we did wrong and, occasionally, offer praise. Here, we present this week's Free for All letters. As a proud English teacher for 60 years, I read Nicole Krauss's May 25 Opinion essay, 'The end of writing and reading will be the end of freedom,' with enthusiasm — and with horror at the knowledge that so many young people have no concept of the joy of reading. It put into words all the fears I have had over the years about the written word becoming obsolete. It also brought me back to a sense of optimism that some of our youths still cherish reading. I hope I have nurtured all my students to read and appreciate the written word.
