“Guardian” reporter Dan Sabah was also present on one of the planes, who said that it seemed that the Korean Air plane he was on cut off the other plane and entered it. Sabah tweeted on his Twitter account that “I’m on a Korean Air plane that clipped an Icelandair plane at Heathrow – a passenger on the other side who saw the incident told me that the wing of our plane hit the tail of the other plane. I was on that plane but I can’t say we felt anything inside. There is no Visible danger, no one was hurt.”
