Watch: Two planes collide at Istanbul Airport

Terrifying security camera footage has captured the moment a Turkish Airlines plane tail was sliced off on the tarmac.

An Asiana Airlines A330 plane was taxiing to its gate at Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport when the wing hit a Turkish Airlines A321, severely damaging both planes.

The Turkish Airlines plane was around 30 meters short of its parking boundaries – which meant the end of the plane was sticking out too far onto the path being used by other planes.

The Asiana Airlines flight was then cancelled, – although luckily no one was injured during the collision.

A full investigation is now underway.
