The Federal Aviation Administration opened an investigation after two Delta Connection aircraft collided on a taxiway at LaGuardia Airport. Flight 5155 struck Flight 5047 at the intersection of Taxiways M and A, despite air traffic control ordering the crew to hold position. The wing of Flight 5155 clipped the fuselage of Flight 5047, and one flight attendant sustained minor injuries before being transported to a hospital.
A total of 93 passengers traveled on both aircraft, with 32 people aboard Flight 5155 and 61 on Flight 5047. Passengers described the impact as violent, and one traveler compared the sound to tearing metal. Delta arranged hotel accommodations and rebooked affected travelers on replacement flights the next day.

Trump repeatedly disavowed knowledge of Project 2025 throughout his 2024 campaign when questioned about the conservative blueprint. His public acknowledgment of collaboration with Vought contradicts those earlier statements. Critics contend the plan undermines...

BMW has issued a recall affecting more than 145,000 vehicles because of a starter defect that could cause fires. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration identified the problem in X5, X6, X7 models and certain 2020 340i, 840i, and 740Li sedans.
