Air traffic control audio captured a pilot reporting that the wing clipped the nose, shattering cockpit screens and damaging the aircraft’s front. Officials said the injured flight attendant was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, while no passengers were hurt.
The FAA and Port Authority are investigating the incident, which involved two CRJ-900 aircraft operated by Delta Connection carrier Endeavor Air.
