U.S. National Transportation Safety Board is leading the investigation of a wingtip clipping incident that occurred between an Air France Airbus A380 carrying 510 people and a Bombardier CRJ700 operated by Comair as a Delta Connection flight Monday night while both aircraft were taxiing at New York JFK. There were no reported injuries, although both aircraft sustained damage and were taken out of service. The incident occurred at 8:25 p.m. EST, according to NTSB.

NTSB said preliminary reports indicate AF Flight 7 was on the runway taxiing into position for departure to Paris when its left wingtip "struck the left horizontal stabilizer of Comair Flight 293," which had just arrived from Boston and was taxiing to a gate.

Videotape posted on YouTube appears to show the A380's wingtip hitting the tail section of the CRJ and spinning the aircraft and its 56 occupants almost 45 degrees.

In a statement Tuesday afternoon, NTSB said it has requested the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder from both aircraft for review. Also, NTSB said it will review the air traffic control tapes and ASDE-X ground movement radar data. The damage sustained to both aircraft is still being assessed, NTSB said.

U.S. FAA, Comair and the Air Line Pilots Assn. are parties to the investigation, NTSB said, noting that representatives from the French Air Accident Investigation Bureau BEA, the Transportation Safety Board of Canada and advisors from Airbus, AF and Bombardier will assist in the investigation.
