Must have been Airbus jets. If they were Boeing jets the headlines would be plastered all over the place.

Having participated in deicing airplanes nearly 40 years ago, I can see how this can occur then. The airplanes are moving close to each other.

“both jets were taken out of service.”
No s—t, Sherlock.

Not a lot of specifics given.
I will say, from experience, the ramp on that side of the airport sux at sunrise. It’s busy, loud, and the glaring sun is right in the pilots’ eyes. That’s not an excuse, but it does have a pucker factor.

We can’t blame it on Boeing then.

I wonder what the air traffic controllers hiring quotas are.

“Pulling away from the gate”
Were the tugs towing them?
Or had the tugs disconnected and they were under their own power moving out to the taxiway?
Sounds like ground crew and/or ATC problems, not pilot screw ups.

Unless a wing fuel tank ruptured. The ensuing fireball could take out the terminal and neighboring planes.

Sounds like, one plane was already pushed back and taxiing, while the other, was more than likely, being pushed back.
Looks like the wing walkers were not paying attention, on the plane being pushed back, and/or the pilots of the other plane, were not taxiing in designated area or not paying attention to their wing tips, while taxiing.
This has nothing to do with ATC. This is from those on the ground, not paying attention to their surroundings

Two vaxxed pilots. This crash was sponsored by Pfizer.
