This incident happened while one of the aircraft was being towed at Heathrow.<\/p>\n

Footage making the rounds on social media shows the wing of a Virgin Atlantic plane overlapping the wing of a British Airways aircraft.<\/p>\n

Emergency services are seen surrounding the area at the UK airport.<\/p>\n

Reports said that no passengers were onboard when the collision occurred.<\/p>\n

Airfield and runway collisions no longer happen often in modern times due to advances in modern ground tracking technology and safety procedures.<\/p>\n

Virgin said it was investigating the collision. The plane has been grounded and is undergoing maintenance checks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are working alongside emergency services and our airline partners in response to an incident involving two aircraft on the ground earlier today.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt present, no passenger injuries have been reported and we do not anticipate there to be any ongoing impact to airport operations,\u201d a Heathrow spokesperson said, according to the Guardian UK.<\/p>\n
