Lawmakers say airplanes bumped each other on runway at Reagan National

(The Hill) – Multiple lawmakers on Thursday said their airplane was bumped by another plane while waiting on the runway at Reagan National Airport.

Rep. Nick LaLota (R-N.Y.) tweeted that the wing of his airplane was struck by a second plane while they waited on the runway and that "everyone is ok."

“Serving in Congress has come with some once in a lifetime experiences… like just now while stationary on the runway at DCA, another plane just bumped into our wing,” LaLota wrote in a post on X.
