Another, "Oh my God, you're all gonna die!" Article

Pretty bad research on the part of the reporter. He highlights a ramp incident involving a wing clipping in a report on runway incursions, and then brings up the Lexington crash on a closed runway. Don't these people run these reports by someone in the know? It only takes a few minutes.

Not only someone, but ANYONE in the know! Even someone who is a private pilot in GA can tell you the difference between a runway incursion, taxiing accident, and crash. Thank God they didn't pull the runway incursion numbers at KMIC and KFCM in the metro area as well. With parallel runways and flights schools there are a quite a few incursions that happen at both satellite airports. KARE11 and USA Today would probably write an article assuring a firey death if you flew out of there....
