The two Vietnam Airlines aircraft smashed into each other at Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi, Vietnam on June 27.
Both flights were grounded and nearly 400 passengers from the two planes were evacuated back to the terminal.
In the shocking footage, a blue Airbus can be seen taxi-ing just moments before take-off.
But seconds later, another jet's right wing shreds through the rear section of the stationary aircraft - almost like butter.
Frightened passengers watched in horror as they saw debris scatter across the tarmac.
The plane then stopped and disembarked hundreds of panicked flyers.
The crash occurred at 2:23pm local time, and involved a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner bound for Ho Chi Minh City, clipping the tail of a stationary Airbus A321.
The Airbus was waiting to depart for Dien Bien, the airport authorities said.
The dramatic collision took place at the intersection of taxiways S and S3, under clear weather conditions.
Initial investigations suggest the Airbus stopped short of the designated holding point.
Heart-stopping moment flames erupt from airborne 153-passenger American Airlines flight as pilot makes eerie disclosure
Authorities are therefore looking at pilot error as a potential reason for the smash.
A probe has been launched to find any operational or communication-based lapses in judgement.
The 386 total passengers from both jets were unharmed.
After being left stranded - Vietnam Airlines arranged alternate flights for them to take.
Both planes were towed to remote stands for technical inspection.
A formal investigation has been started by the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) and the Northern Airports Authority.
The terrifying footage comes after a recent string of horror aviation accidents.
Heartstopping footage showed the moment an American Airlines flight saw smoke and sparks flying from the plane's engine.
Harrowing video of the incident was shared on social media, showing puffs of smoke and orange sparks coming from the plane's engine.
And last week, a Ryanair flight crashed into a barrier and suffered a badly smashed wing after landing at a Greek airport.
The Boeing 737 suffered 'severe turbulence' during the flight, before those onboard heard a huge bang as the aircraft landed and collided with a barrier.

French army general dies along with couple in their 60s as plane crashes into residential area
A French army general has died after the plane he was piloting went down and crashed into a residential area, also killing a couple onboard. The tragic air disaster occurred shortly before 4pm on Friday in Champhol, a town in central France. The unnamed 'seasoned and experienced' pilot was a 77-year-old former army general, while the couple onboard the light aircraft were a man and a woman in their sixties, the Chartres Public Prosecutor, Frederic Chevallier, said. No homes in the area were affected, with Chevallier suggesting that 'the pilot likely prevented a greater tragedy by avoiding the houses', but said that a parked car had been damaged in the crash. The devastating accident is believed to have occurred around three minutes after take-off, according to local media. Initial investigations suggest that the aircraft executed a turn that was probably too tight. The prosecutor said that the plane made a 'sudden turn' before making a 'rapid descent' towards a 'low wall in a garden' before crashing and coming to a stop. Emergency services rushed to the scene of the crash and tried to resuscitate the victims, who were all pronounced dead at the scene. The light aircraft belonged to the Chartres Metropole aerodrome flying club. An investigation to determine the causes of the crash is currently underway. The jet incident comes after the Air India tragedy that left at least 270 dead earlier this month. The passenger plane bound for London Gatwick crashed into a medical college after takeoff on June 12 in the northwestern city of Ahmedabad and killed 241 of the 242 passengers on board and dozens more on the ground. Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, 40, received treatment at a local hospital, where he told doctors that immediately after the plane took off, it began descending and suddenly split in two. His seat was placed right next to the emergency door, which he says came off when the plane hit the ground. Astonishing footage taken near the crash site showed Mr Ramesh with visible injuries hobbling away from the jet before he was rushed to hospital for treatment. There were 53 British national on board Flight AI171 when it crashed into a residential area near the airport, as well as 159 nations, seven Portuguese citizens and a Canadian. The Indian government has launched an investigation into the fatal crash.
