There was a plane crash this week at New York's JFK International Airport. Accoring to Time.com, "A super jumbo jet clipped a small commuter plane while taxiing Monday night. The Air France airbus was prepping for takeoff to Paris when its wing collided with the tail of a Comair commuter jet. The double-decker jumbo jet, whose wingspan measures a whopping 80 meters (262 feet), misjudged its taxiing space, driving its left wing into the tail of the other plane. The tiny Bombardier aircraft, run by Delta Connection, couldn't hold its weight in the collision – it spun nearly 90 degrees as the Air France flight continued down the taxiway." Fortunately, no one was injured on either aircraft.

In other plane crash news, in Biddeford, Maine, a twin-engine Cessna crashed into a home. The couple who lives in the home had left before the crash occured. The pilot, Edward L'Hommidieu was the only person who did not survive the crash. He was 71 years old. Last month, 5 men were killed and another man was injured badly when their plane crashed on the runway at Long Beach Airport and then caught fire. The plane crashed very shortly after takeoff. The only survivor remains in critical condition at Long Beach Memorial Hospital.
