2 planes clip wings at Hollywood Burbank Airport

The Federal Aviation Administration was investigating after two planes clipped wings at the Hollywood Burbank Airport Friday morning. Travelers flying into and out of the airport were told to expect delays.

Shortly after 6 a.m., an American Airlines plane was being towed for departure and one of its wings touched the wing of an Alaska Airlines plane, according to Burbank airport officials.
