2 United Airlines Planes Clip Wings At Chicago O'Hare

Air travel in 2025 is apparently still particularly problematic.

Chicago O'Hare, Midway, and countless other airports in the U.S. have had a spike in problems this year. Within the last year, here are a few incidents out of O'Hare:

January: Coyote Hit By Plane Leaving Illinois Airport In Weird Situation

February: A Plane Hits A Tug Car

March: Flight From Chicago O'Hare Forced To Return After Toilets Clogged

Also March: Flight Returns To Illinois Airport After Possible Bird Strike

June: WATCH: DoorDash Driver Drives Onto O'Hare Tarmac In New Video

And for Midway, you may remember the near collision of a private jet and a commercial liner earlier this year. Now, there's another situation that happened on Friday.

2 United Airline planes clipped wings on Friday afternoon on the taxiway at O'Hare. One plane's wing clipped the other's horizontal stabilizer on it's wing (aerodynamics lesson: the horizontal stabilizer is a fixed part on the wing that keeps a plane flying straight). The moving plane was Flight 2652, filled with 113 passengers flying in from Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

The good news is that no one was hurt and the plane experienced a short delay getting to their gate.

Bill Marcus, a passenger on the flight who got the pictures you'll see in the video, told ABC he didn't even know something happened until the pilot made an announcement.

No passengers were on the second plane.

O'Hare isn't the only airport that's seen problems. Earlier this month at LaGuardia, 2 Delta planes collided, injuring a flight attendant.

Fingers crossed that we get through the holiday season with no collisions or near-misses, both on the runway and in the air.

Can You Pass The U.S. Citizenship Test?

Many immigrants who want to become citizens of the U.S. have a lot of knowledge they need to know before being granted citizenship. As a naturally born citizen of the U.S., you probably think you know it all, but do you?

During the naturalization interview, a civics test is given. The civics test is an oral test and the USCIS Officer will ask the applicant up to 10 of the many civics questions below. An applicant must answer 6 out of 10 questions correctly to pass the civics portion of the naturalization test. Think you can get at least 60% correct? Let's find out.
