Call this one very pricey "fender bender" between two jets in New York's famed JFK Airport last night.  The two jets involved were an Airbus A380 (Air France) and one of those fancy Bombardier CRJ700 regional jets.

Two amazing videos have emerge, one is the two planes knocking into each other, and the other is the audio from one of the pilots involved.

The two jets were towed away and are now being inspected to determine the extent of their damage. Air France reported that 485 passengers and 25 crew members were aboard the Paris-bound Flight 7 and the other jet was a Comair flight that had 62 passengers and four crew members. NO ONE WAS injured.  The two videos on this blog post show the planes colliding (above), and below, is the audio from the pilot involved and his reaction to the crash.

Gotta love You Tube

Air Traffic Control (ATC) Audio - Air France Flight 7 F-HPJD bound for Paris. The Airbus A380 super jumbo jet clipped the tail of a Delta CRJ700 (Comair Flight 6293) while taxiing at JFK (New York) International Airport.  Go to :34 seconds into this clip, and this is where the pilot tells the Control tower:  "We just been hit."
