Another Botched use of runways

NEWARK, New Jersey (CNN) -- Two commercial planes bumped into each other
Tuesday on a Newark International Airport runway, delaying hundreds of
passengers on a trans-Atlantic flight.

And your point is ...?

There will be an accident investigation, and the reason will be found. Maybe
the stationary aircraft was in the wrong place, maybe the moving one was
going the wrong way, maybe they were both doing the right thing but the
moving one thought the gap was bigger than it was, or maybe delinquent
squirrels came out at night and repainted the taxiway lines ten feet to the
left. It'll all come out in the investigation, and fault will be attributed
approriately.

And hopefully we'll finally be able to nail those damn squirrels!
