Two Southwest Airlines planes have collided on the tarmac of Nashville International Airport. Airline officials say no injuries were reported in Saturday night's collision. An emailed statement from Southwest Airlines spokeswoman Michelle Agnew says the winglet of the St. Louis-bound Southwest Flight 1555 "came into contact" during pushback with the winglet of Southwest Flight 4580, headed for Atlanta.

Need more information - were both airplanes being pushed back from their respective gates at the same time? Where were the ground crews? Using the term "collided" is a bit sensational IMHO, although I understand that "collision" can cover a broad range of contacts between two or more objects.
