All flights in and out of Hobby Airport were stopped for hours on Tuesday after two planes collided on a runway.
According to the NTSB, at 3:20 p.m. on Tuesday, a Hawker 850XP with three people onboard was planning to take off. The pilot was told by air traffic control to wait on Runway 22. That pilot, however, started to accelerate for takeoff and its wing hit the tail of the other aircraft, a Cessna 510 with five people onboard which had landed on a different runway.
The NTSB has issued the following update on its investigation into Tuesday's runway collision at Houston Hobby International Airport. Additional information about NTSB investigative processes is available atThe NTSB has a team of six people in Houston to investigate. They said a preliminary report will be available within 30 days on their website.
Hobby Airport was closed for around four hours Tuesday after the collision so that debris could be cleaned up. One aviation expert we talked to said this could have been much worse. "It was a wing-to-rudder-type contact. It's going to be interesting if the pilots tried to abort or what elusive maneuvers they took," former commercial pilot and aviation expert Oliver Brown said."This is a very fortunate outcome. This is the most serious infraction that pilots can be involved in."
