CHICAGO — Two planes, including one with nearly 300 passengers, scraped wings on a runway at O'Hare Airport Wednesday night, officials said.

A Polish LOT passenger jet plane with about 284 people on board clipped the wing of a Luftansa cargo plane as the two aircrafts were taxiing past each other on the runway about 6 p.m., Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Tony Molinaro said.

No one was hurt, Molinaro said.

The FAA could not offer further details because the administration is investigating the incident along with the National Transportation Safety Board.
