(Patriot.Buzz) – On a chaotic day at Boston Logan International Airport, four planes were involved in two separate tarmac collisions, causing significant disruptions and raising questions about airport safety protocols.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is now scrambling to investigate these alarming incidents that disrupted travel plans for hundreds of Americans during a busy holiday period.
The incidents occurred just hours apart, leaving passengers stranded and investigators searching for answers.
The first collision involved an American Airlines jet from London, clipping the wing of a parked Frontier Airlines plane preparing to depart for Dallas, Fort Worth.
This incident resulted in the cancellation of the Frontier flight, affecting 200 passengers who had to be rebooked.

Eyewitness Evelyn Pipione, a passenger on one of the affected flights, described the terrifying moment of impact: “That was terrible. It was very scary. All of a sudden, ‘thump.’ It sounded like something fell from below.”
The second collision occurred when a JetBlue plane being towed struck a Cape Air plane that had just landed.
This incident involved two pilots and three passengers on the Cape Air plane, while the JetBlue aircraft was fortunately empty.
Although no injuries were reported, the Cape Air pilots were taken to the hospital as a precaution, highlighting the potential dangers of such incidents.
The aftermath of these collisions was nothing short of chaotic. Caroline Agid, a witness to the scene, reported: “It [was] just red lights everywhere. It looks like the front top of the Cape Air plane got smushed. It was a chaotic mess.”
While the Massachusetts Port Authority attempted to downplay the incidents by describing them as “minor” and occurring at low speeds, the impact on passengers and flight schedules was significant.
The JetBlue flight to Orlando was delayed for three hours while a new plane was found, further disrupting travel plans for hardworking Americans.
The FAA and the involved airlines have launched investigations into both collisions. However, many are left wondering if this is just another example of government incompetence and mismanagement.
These incidents at Boston Logan Airport serve as a wake-up call to prioritize airport safety and efficiency.
It is time for a return to common-sense policies that prioritize the safety and convenience of American travelers rather than wasting resources on misguided liberal priorities that do nothing to improve the country’s vital infrastructure.
