I hope the pilots at least pulled over to exchange insurance information.

Ow! I’ve watched enough of Mentour Pilot’s excellent videos to know that there will be an investigation, and a lot of paperwork. It seems there is no such thing as a “minor accident” even when the planes are on the ground.

It’s really surprising something like this can happen. In principle if all the planes are on their correct lines and marks, there’s plenty of clearance around them. Presumably the Icelandair plane was held back from the gate and thus was closer to being in the taxiway, but still, if the ground crew properly placed them on their mark, collision like this should not be possible.
