Two United Airlines planes were involved in a minor collision at San Francisco International Airport on Labor Day, the airline confirmed. 

“On Monday night, a United plane was being pushed away from its gate at San Francisco International Airport when it touched the tail of another parked United plane,” a representative for United shared with Fox News Digital.

No injuries were reported and passengers on both planes were able to board other planes to reach their destinations. 

The collision between UA796 — which was headed to Boston — and UA1871 — which was headed to Denver — garnered social media attention. 

In a file photo taken on October 24, 2017, the air traffic control tower can be seen as a plane departs from San Francisco International Airport.

A person who claimed to be aboard the plane wrote on Reddit, “We’re currently waiting to find out if they will provide us with a different plane… There was a slight jolt and the aircraft shook briefly, with the pilot updating us a few moments afterward.”

Passengers told local TV news station KGO the hit felt like an earthquake. 

The FAA is investigating the incident, KGO reported. 

In May, there was a similar incident when the right wingtip of a United Airlines aircraft leaving a gate clipped the left wingtip of another United plane at San Francisco, the Federal Aviation Administration reported.
