Airliner Hits Truck

Nobody Hurt, No Fenders Bent in Unusual 'Fender-Bender'

ATA Flight 925 was taxiing out to go to Chicago and Seattle, when it was thought that a passenger was having a heart attack. The plane was under tow, on its way back to the terminal, when its port wing hit a deicing truck.

Neither of the two aboard the truck, nor any of the 71 PAX and 6 crew, was hurt, in Thursday's strangest accident.

One passenger, interviewed by local NBC affil WTHR-TV-13, said, "It was pretty exciting. I've always wanted to survive a plane crash and this is my day."
