<i> Associated Press</i>
HOUSTON —
Two Continental jets clipped wings as they taxied past each other at Houston Intercontinental Airport. No one was hurt.
A 737 jet with 127 passengers and five crew members was backing out of a terminal Saturday for a trip to Chicago as a maintenance crew was taking a 737 into the terminal.
A Continental spokesman said the wing of the jet without passengers was damaged. There was no visible damage to the other plane, but passengers were put on another jet for the trip to Chicago.
