MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board went to work Wednesday trying to determine why a Northwest Airlines DC-9 collided with a Northwest Airbus on the ground at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
Six people were injured when the DC-9 which had reported hydraulic problems hit the bigger Airbus A319 shortly after 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. The wing of the Airbus sliced into the cockpit of the DC-9, peeling back a section of its roof, and the fuselage of the DC-9 became lodged underneath the tail of the Airbus.
The injured included the DC-9 pilot and first officer. News reports said the pilot was in serious condition at Hennepin County Medical Center. A Northwest spokesman was not immediately able to confirm that Wednesday morning.
