A Southwest Airlines flight was delayed at T.F. Green Airport yesterday (20 June) after the aircraft's wing became wedged in a fence.

The aircraft had reportedly pushed away from the gate at the airport when its wing became wedged in a fence designed to protect the public from the blast of engines. The incident caused slight damage to the aircraft's wing.

The 105 passengers on board the flight to Tampa were booked onto a later flight, reported turnto10.com.
