BOSTON, Mass. - An Alaska Airlines plane collided with a deicing truck on the tarmac at Boston's Logan International Airport Friday night. Alaska Airline officials said it happened about 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time. They said the plane had just pushed back from the gate for departure and was being deiced when the bucket of the deicing truck came in contact with the left wing of the aircraft. According to reports, Oliver Mauricio Funes-Machado, 18, told dispatchers he stabbed his mom "like eight times" and left the knife in her mouth. Funes-Machado called 911 around 12:45 p.m. on Monday. When deputies arrived, he was seen walking out of the family home "carrying a knife in one hand and a severed human head in the other," according to the affidavit. According to WTVD, the sheriff's office is bringing in a team of counselors to help deputies cope with what they experienced.

Passengers had noticed the plane was about to hit the truck but, according to WCVB, their yells were not heard.
Jessica Zewski, who was onboard, said: ‘They stopped the plane and they eventually came over the speaker and said they had an incident with the truck.’
None of the passengers were injured and they eventually flew to San Diego, California, on Saturday morning.
The injured man in the deicing truck was rushed to hospital.
