I'm surprised no one posted about this yet. There was a minor collision involving two heavies in MIA.

The pilots of those aircraft probably passed out when they saw the new American Airlines livery.

BFD! Two planes touched on the ground. Spend a week at a small GA airport.

I don't think the paper presents the incident as a "BFD"--but when several hundred million dollars in jet collide, it is certainly a bigger deal than two Cessnas clipping each other at the local airport.

Still not news worthy IMO. BFD! They clipped each other while parking. The only reason this made the news is because, well, I just can't figure out why it's news worthy. Hell, even the passengers fighting after the fact doesn't seem news worthy to me.

To each his own.

There are many more people affected with this incident than two Alaruses tapping each other's wings at a small GA airport.
