[densoo]

A fender bender. They hype it as a "crash."

(01-13) 23:24 PST San Francisco -- A United Airlines Boeing 757 jet that was backing out of a gate at San Francisco International Airport crashed into a SkyWest plane carrying 60 passengers and crew Sunday night in what airport officials called a serious accident.
The crash occurred at 7:30 p.m. at domestic Terminal 3 as the United plane was being taken out of service and moved without passengers from Gate 80 to a hangar for maintenance. The passengers onboard the SkyWest plane, which was headed to Boise, Idaho, were not injured, said Airport Duty Manager Lily Wang.

No wing walkers were used. Time to reexamine that policy!
