SEATTLE — A Japan Airlines aircraft collided with a parked Delta Air Lines plane at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) on Wednesday morning.

SEA Airport said the incident happened around 10:17 a.m. between the S Concourse and the south airport maintenance hangars. The airport said in a social media post an inbound Japan Airlines aircraft "appears to have struck the tail of a parked Delta Air Lines aircraft" on the ramp.

A Delta Air Lines spokesperson told KOMO News the Boeing 737 heading to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, carrying 142 passengers.

"There are no injuries reported at this time," SEA officials said.

SEA said it was coordinating with both airlines to safely deplane passengers and transport them to the terminal.

The airport reported minimal impact on operations, as the collision took place on a taxi lane. Passengers planning to fly today are advised to check with their airlines for updates.

Passengers who were onboard the Japan Airlines flight spoke to KOMO News about the incident as they were leaving the airport.

"The plane just kind of jolted," passenger Lida Turner said. "It felt like were in a car accident, a fender bender. I think everybody was just in disbelief."

The passengers waited on the plane for around two hours before being taken down stairs and bussed to the terminal.

"Understanding that’s significant when you have two planes colliding at an airport - that’s not something to take lightly," said Brett Powers, a passenger on the Japan Airlines flight.

Powers said he heard someone yell right before the impact.

"A few of us turned around to look at what was going on and then the plane came to an abrupt stop," he said. "We looked out the window and realized we had contacted the Delta plane. Not a huge reaction, everybody was really calm about it - more surprised than anything else.”

The U.S. Embassy informs U.S. citizens that in the last year, the Embassy has seen an increase in reports of incidents involving the use of sedatives to dr*g and rob individuals. Foreigners are routinely targeted through online dating applications or in bars and nightclubs. The Embassy regularly receives reports of these types of incidents occurring in major cities, including Medellin, Cartagena, and Bogota. Some of these incidents have resulted in victims dying or needing serious medical assistance as a result of an overdose from the dr*gs used to incapacitate the victim.

U.S. Embassy Bogota is aware of eight suspicious deaths of private U.S. citizens in Medellin between November 1 and December 31, 2023. The deaths appear to involve either involuntary dr*gging overdose or are suspected homicides.

The UN's CERD states that Afro-Colombians face "persistent structural and historical discrimination" which results in "high levels of poverty and social exclusion," when compared to the rest of the population (UN 22 Jan. 2020, para. 16). The US Department of State's Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2019 states that Afro-Colombians face "significant economic and social discrimination" (US 11 Mar. 2020, 28).

The [apparent] decrease in the number of Afro-Colombians in the 2018 census compared to the 2005 census was criticized by some organizations, including the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination the National Conference of Afro-Colombian Organizations

In correspondence with the Research Directorate, an assistant professor of black studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara, whose research includes black lives in urban Colombia, stated that there is an "unspoken and yet socially shared antagonism" towards Afro-Colombians, who are viewed as the "'enemy' of Colombian economic progress"

Did I mention any where it wasn’t by election? I only didn’t mention it was an off season election along with election of sheriffs where very very few people turn out because most don’t even know the days fixed for that election owing to its insignificance in scheme of elections . Competitive and glamorous are definitely not what it means to most people especially lawyers that know that going for such position when you could earn more in private practice means you don’t know what you are doing as a lawyer

If you’ve never lived in America and taken care of patients who threaten to deport you when they are upset, you have no understanding of the scenario I just painted for you. This is why many of you should keep quiet

You have some nerve approaching me with rudeness and expecting civility in response. Making assumptions about what I care or don’t care about without knowing me. Maybe you’re used to people placating you when you approach them sideways. You’re not getting that from me.

Before making assumptions or talking about what you don’t know, do your findings first.
