A German Wings commercial plane reversed into the tail of a standing El Al plane on Wednesday, frightening passengers. No injuries were reported.

The German Boeing 737 bound for Berlin clipped the tail of the El Al 767 headed for Rome, which had already moved away from the terminal.

Both planes were evacuated by way of portable stairs.

An investigation is underway to examine the cause of the collision.
