  "account": "The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating an incident at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) where a Delta Air Lines plane clipped an Air Canada aircraft on Tuesday. The FAA's probe was prompted by the close call between the two commercial jets.\n\nAccording to the aviation agency, the incident took place around 10:30 a.m. local time. At that moment, the Delta plane was taxiing for departure, while the Air Canada plane was being towed to its gate.\n\nAn Air Canada spokesperson confirmed that there are no reported injuries resulting from the collision. The company's statement revealed that Flight 785 had arrived from Toronto when it came into contact with another aircraft.\n\nThe airline explained that the collision occurred when the Delta plane's left wingtip struck the Air Canada aircraft's horizontal stabilizer. This location on a plane resembles a wing-like structure at the tail.\n\nThe Delta plane will undergo inspection and repairs following the incident, as stated in a statement by Sean Davidson, an Air Canada representative. The U.S. FAA's investigation into the event is ongoing.",
