Original Note:
While not common, aircraft ground collisions occur regularly, in part due to pilot’s limited visibility of the wingtips while taxiing & tight spaces at many airports: https://www.aviationsafetymagazine.com/features/taxi-smack/ Boston Logan airport is particularly tight; there were two such incidents there last year alone: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/video-delta-united-planes-collide-slowly-boston-airport-rcna90048 https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/2-united-planes-make-contact-at-bostons-logan-airport-no-injuries-massport-says/2988895/
