(Ebru News/AP) Two passenger jets clipped each other while taxiing on a runway at London's Heathrow Airport Monday night.  Fortunately there were no injuries in the incident.  But some harrowing moments to be sure

The planes involved were a British Airways Boeing 747 and a Sri Lankan Airlines Airbus A340.

A witness aboard the Sri Lankan flight said her plane hit the BA aircraft from behind while maneuvering on the runway.

 Annasofie Flamand, Danish journalist evacuated from Sri Lankan said
"We were taxiing down the runway in the Sri Lankan Airways plane and it looked like we were overtaking a British Airways plane and, as we were overtaking it, I noticed that the wing was quite close to the back end of the British Airways plane. I said to my boyfriend 'I don't think we're going to make this' and the next moment both wings collided and our wing literally just took the tip off the British Airways wing and it just severed through it like butter."

Annasofie Flamand said she couldn't believe that something like that could happen:

Annasofie Flamand, Danish journalist evacuated from Sri Lankan said:
"I have to say that I am pretty shocked that something like this can happen. You don't think it can happen at Heathrow or anywhere else. I mean, it's better, if it's going to happen, that it's on the ground than in the air. But it's shocking that it can happen."

Passengers from both flights were evacuated safely after the collision

A British Airways spokesman said an investigation had been launched, and that the airline's plane was being examined by engineers.

Heathrow Airport, Europe's busiest, handles more than 67 million passengers a year.
