Didn't take long for the passengers to go in to panic mode.
Ah, yes, another "tarmac" story, which in reporter-speak is any area of an airport occupied by an aircraft, excluding the runway itself.
Yes, defining an area by building material. I don’t know, but a tar and stone paving material would be dangerous around jet engines (FOD). The areas are really concrete, why don’t they say that they collided on the concrete?
The "American Airline Industry "shambles" is creeping up to its neighbor!!!!
Sigh...There is no Tarmac in Canada. Why do reporters keep using that? Why do they say "close proximity?" If you are in proximity you are already close!
"Look out! Those two planes are in distant proximity!"
Would that constitute a distant miss?
