Tampa meteorologist Jason Adams said he was aboard one of the aircraft at the moment of impact.

‘Well that was terrifying,’ he posted on X. ‘Taxiing out for the flight from Atlanta to Louisiana and another plane appears to have clipped the back of our plane. 

‘Very jarring, metal scraping sounds then loud bangs. We’re fine. No fire or smoke. Awaiting instructions.’
