## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

JIA5141 (N530EA) HAD JUST BEEN PUSHED OFF OF GATE E14B AND WAS WAITING TO TAXI NEAR SPOT 29W ON THE NORTH RAMP IN CLT WITH BOTH ENGINES RUNNING. JIA5366 (N569NN) REQUESTED PUSH OFF OF GATE E31 AT 1342Z. PUSH WAS INITIALY DENIED, BUT THEN RAMP CONTROL INSTRUCTED THEM TO PUSH 10FT AND HOLD. JIA5366 WAS THEN APPROVED TO PUSH AT 1344Z AT WHICH TIME JIA5141 WAS STILL SITTING AT SPOT 29W DIRECTLY BEHIND JIA5366. JIA5366 HAD 2 WING WALKERS WALKING THE WINGS AS THEY PUSHED THE AIRCRAFT BACK. THE WING WALKERS WERE NOT PAYING ATTENTION AND ALLOWED N569NN TO BE PUSHED INTO N530EA. THE TAILS COLLIDED AND IMPACTED ON THE TRAILING EDGES OF THE ELEVATORS. BOTH AIRCRAFT RECEIVED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE. THE AIRCRAFT WERE SHUTDOWN AND PASSENGERS WERE DE-PLANED AND BUSED TO THE TERMINAL. ONE FLIGHT ATTENDANT COMPLAINED OF MINOR INJURIES AND WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL AS A PRECAUTION. SHE WAS RELEASED SHORTLY AFTER.
