A fuel truck hits 2 American Airlines jets at Dallas-Fort Worth Airport, damaging both of them and causing flights to be cancelled

Video posted of the aftermath showed damage to the winglet of one of the planes, and to the wing of the second. The wing of the second plane broke through the fuel truck's windshield.

The two planes were sitting at adjacent gates when the incident happened. One plane was scheduled to fly to Lubbock, Texas, as flight AA 5780, while the other was supposed to fly to Shreveport, Louisiana, as flight AA 5740. Both flights were cancelled, and passengers were rebooked onto other flights.
