Two planes collided on a runway in Japan, in the second airport crash in the country within weeks.

A Korean Air Lines plane came into contact with a Cathay Pacific Airways aircraft at New Chitose Airport on Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido on Tuesday, a Korean Air official said.

Headlines are so sensational. From the article:

A Korean Air spokesperson said: “A Korean Air aircraft came into contact with a Cathay aircraft during pushback at New Chitose (Sapporo) Airport by the third-party ground handler vehicle which slipped due to heavy snow. There were no injuries and the airline is cooperating with all relevant authorities.”

This was not related to the other event, at all. A plane slid into another, due to heavy snow, while being moved by the ground crew.

“Two planes collided on a runway in Japan” is terrible journalism. This was not on a runway, this was during the pushback at the gate.
