SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT -- The FAA is sending accident investigators to San Francisco International Airport to look into last night's near catastrophe. They'll be trying to find out why two passenger jets collided while taxiing away from their gates.
The good news is the passengers are unhurt and being taken care of -- they are being put up at local hotels by the airport and by the airlines. This crash happened at Terminal 3. A United Airlines 757 at Gate 80 backed into a SkyWest commuter jet at gate 79. Investigators will begin their look today into why this happened.
The United 757 was being taken out of service. It had no passengers on board. The SkyWest jet was carrying 56 passengers and four crew members. The 757 backed into the commuter jet.

Both aircraft are at the UA MX facility right now, the 752 is sitting outside and the CR7 is inside perhaps being repaired. My girlfriend's uncle who is a UA mechanic is going to take me down there later so I can get some shots of the damaged planes. I belive thats one of the last Skywest CR7s in the old UA c/s. Usually they're hard to find, but this one will be around a while.
