United Planes Collide at LaGuardia Amid Staffing and Weather Woes

United Planes Collide at LaGuardia Amid Staffing and Weather Woes

Two United Airlines planes bumped into each other at an airport in New York while they were moving on the ground.

One plane was landing, and it hit the tail of another plane that was waiting to take off.

Luckily, no one got hurt, even though there were many people on both planes.

This happened when the airport was busy and the weather was bad, with strong winds.

Some people think that problems like not having enough air traffic controllers, who help guide planes, might also be making airports less safe.

The government is looking into why the planes hit each other.
