United plane's wing clips another at O'Hare

A New York City-bound United Airlines Airbus clipped wings with another jetliner while heading out of its gate at O'Hare International Airport Wednesday morning.

No one was hurt but the passengers bound for LaGuardia Airport had to disembark and were put on another flight. The second United aircraft, which was parked at a gate before its scheduled trip to Fort Myers, Fla., was empty when the incident occurred at 6 a.m. Both United Airlines and the Federal Aviation Administration said they were investigating what caused the accident.
