Thanks for the link.

By my reading, of the 8 incidents reported in the last 10 days for Airbus and Boeing aircraft, 7 were collisions with birds and one was:

> AIRCRAFT LANDED AND POST FLIGHT INSPECTION REVEALED DAMAGE TO RIGHT LANDING GEAR AND FLAPS, HOUSTON, TX.

Nothing about two planes colliding on a runway.

There haven't been many recently.

Airbus/Boeing accidents while taxing:

https://www.asias.faa.gov/apex/f?p=100:11:::NO:::

2021: 1

20210220001669I - ON TAXI OUT FROM THE DE-ICE PAD THE RIGHT WING STRUCK AN IMPROPERLY PLACED DE-ICE TRUCK

2020: 1

20201220018589I - SUSTAINED RIGHT WINGTIP DAMAGE FROM STRIKING A LIGHT POLE

2019 - 4 ...

20190729005662I - G-CKWE STRUCK N819AN?S RIGHT WINGTIP WITH THEIR RIGHT WINGTIP

20190610006432I - ASAA STRUCK THE RIGHT HORIZONTAL STABILIZER OF THE PARKED EMBRAER 175 WITH THEIR LEFT WINGLET

20190418002979I - THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK A RUNWAY EDGE LIGHT

They can get pretty funny. The first one I clicked into was "ingested snowbank and a light"

almost all of these are non-commercial; all but 1 of the commercial incidents from the past 10 days are due to striking birds in flight, and nothing with airport taxiing
