More air-traffic control problems at Reagan National Airport … a couple members of Congress say their plane just clipped wings with another commercial jet on the tarmac … and this is the same airport where a Blackhawk helicopter crashed into an American Airlines jet in January.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The incident happened Thursday on the runway in Washington, D.C. … with New Jersey Rep. Josh Gottheimer<\/strong> saying another plane struck the wing of the plane he was traveling on while waiting to take off.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

New York Rep. Nick LaLota<\/strong> says he was aboard one of the planes as well … he says they were stationary on the runway at DCA when “another plane just bumped into our wing,” and he shared a photo from his window seat.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

LaLota says the plane is heading back to the gate and NY Rep. Grace Meng<\/strong> is onboard passing out grapes.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

It’s unclear if all three members of Congress are on the same plane … but they are all from Tri-state area … so it seems they are all flying to the same place.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

The good news … Gottheimer, LaLota and Meng say no one was injured. The two Democrats, Gottheimer and Meng, both blame cuts at the FAA for the issue.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

DCA is the same airport where a military helicopter collided with a passenger jet<\/strong><\/a> earlier this year … killing everyone on board the chopper and the plane.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
