Looks like neither plane was flying, and one was even stationary during the incident, so I don’t think it is as newsworthy as the title tries to make it.
I agree with the premise, but in the airplane news case; It’s a big deal at the FAA when planes even get close to each other. When they touch an even more stringent investigation will (at least used to) take place.
It’s news that there was a collision because it’s a big fuckup even on the ground and taxiing.
This. Aviation has had an incredible safety record over the last 10+ years. That we’ve had multiple accidents, even minor ones, over the last several months is a huge departure from modern industry standards, and is quite concerning for the future of the aviation industry.
Don’t feel bad. These things happen and the biggest tragedy was a newspaper exploiting his death.
We were outraged and they put a small little article reacting and apologising for it a week later. Not quite the justice deserved, but something non the less.
So close…

I had a friend die after being clipped by a car then a trailer wheel rolled over his chest. He passed in hospital later that day.
“Man killed by tree mulcher” was the headline. Apparently the trailer was hauling one.
I felt bad upvoting that story. Tragicomic but so illustrative of how media distorts reality
