A British Airways plane, which had just landed from Accra (Ghana), collided with a Virgin Atlantic 787, which was being towed by a tug, while on the runway at Heathrow Airport. Both vehicles have been removed from the runway and will be repaired before they can return to service. But photos of the planes are already spreading on social media. Says the two airlines involved BBCThe company has launched an investigation into what happened and the engineering teams involved are carrying out routine maintenance checks on the aircraft in question.

A Heathrow Airport spokesman said: “We are working alongside emergency services and our airline partners in response to the incident of two grounded aircraft this morning.”
