In the same context, the Federal Aviation Administration said that it would investigate the collision, which comes after a series of unusual accidents at major airports in recent times, the most prominent of which was on February 4, when two planes avoided an inevitable collision at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas, while landing. One and the other took off from the same runway, and a day before, a plane crashed into another parked wing, which led to its crash, at Newark Liberty International Airport, New Jersey.
