Sideswipe-Style Crash Between Airplanes Damages Wing on 737

The San Francisco Chronicle reports that two aircraft collided on Sunday night at Oakland International Airport.  A Southwest Airlines flight was leaving the gate in preparation for a short flight to Orange County when the end of its wing brushed against the wing of another Southwest plane.  The sideswipe-style collision damaged the top of a wing tip on the departing plane, a Boeing 737.  A passenger told reporters that travelers felt a sudden jolt, one that most passengers seemed to dismiss.  He says he noticed the wing tip cracked and fell off while the plane continued to move, leading him to notify a flight attendant out of concern that the damage had not been noticed.
