Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ALL four pilots involved in a horrifying runway plane collision which saw one jet slice through another's tail fin have been suspended. Harrowing footage showed a Boeing shred through a stationary Airbus while on the tarmac - just moments before it was set to take off. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 A plane sliced through another one's wing on a runway 3 Debris scattered across the tarmac during the horror collision 3 Nearly 400 passengers disembarked both flights Hundreds were left stranded after the shocking accident which unfolded in front of terrified passengers who watched debris scatter across the runway. The two Vietnam Airlines aircraft smashed into each other at Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi, Vietnam on June 27 - with both aircraft carrying a total of 386 passengers. The Ho Chi Minh City-bound Boeing 787 was taxiing for take-off when it struck an Airbus A321, parked on the tarmac, waiting to head to Dien Bien. Vietnam Airlines has now suspended the four pilots involved - two from each jet. Meanwhile, investigators are still probing the exact cause of the crash. Initial findings have suggested human error, due to the fact the Airbus was not parked correctly on the runway at the time of the smash. The dramatic collision took place at the intersection of taxiways S and S3, under clear weather conditions. In the shocking footage, a blue Airbus can be seen taxi-ing just moments before take-off. But seconds later, another jet's right wing rips through the rear section of the stationary aircraft - almost like butter. Frightened passengers watched in disbelief as they saw parts of the plane's tail stabilizer shoot off onto the floor.

The terrifying footage comes after a recent string of horror aviation accidents. Heartstopping footage showed the moment an American Airlines flight saw smoke and sparks flying from the plane's engine. Harrowing video of the incident was shared on social media, showing puffs of smoke and orange sparks coming from the plane's engine.

Boeing passenger plane SLICES tail of another jet on runway of major airport
Two Vietnam Airlines collided after a Boeing aircraft cut too close to an Airbus, slicing its tail on the airport tarmac. Two aircrafts were grounded on Friday at the Hanoi's Noi Bai International Airport after a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner that was taxiing down the runway hit an Airbus A321 around 2pm. The Airbus plane was waiting on the tarmac to depart for Dien Bien, Northern Airports Authority said. Video taken inside the Boeing plane showed it moving down the tarmac at a steady pace, its right wing dangerously close to the Airbus' tail end. The wing clipped the tail of the other plane, jerking to the left. The Boeing plane stopped moving for a moment before proceeding forward, slicing through the metal of the tail, damaging it. The Boeing stopped again after completely clearing passed the Airbus. Both planes were immediately grounded for inspection and passengers were brought back to their gates, according to VN Express, a Vietnamese outlet. None of the 386 passengers on the planes were injured and they were given alternate flights to get to their destination. All four pilots on both planes were suspended after the collision while the investigation is conducted, the outlet reported. An independent team will conduct the investigation, alongside the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV). CAAV classified the incident as a Level B, the second highest on the scale of five tiers. A preliminary report suggested the Airbus was not parked in its designated spot on taxiway S3. Debris was cleared from the runway immediately. has reached out to CAAV for comment. According to expert analysis, 2025 is one of the deadliest years for air travel in the past decade. While the aviation industry maintains exceptionally high safety standards, the recent string of high-profile incidents has raised concerns that flying may be becoming more risky. The average number of deaths during flights per year currently stands at 284, according to Jan-Arwed Richter, founder of Jacdec, a German consulting firm that tracks aviation safety. That means 2025 has already had almost double the average number of air travel deaths. 2025's high level of fatalities comes on the back of one of the safest periods in the history of air travel.
