Saw a CGAA lear on taxiway M3 at YVR last night (eastbound) and saw a Cessna (172?) on M4 (westbound)
Both were stopped on the taxiways just off the runway the crews from both planes were out looking at their planes, airport ops and fire trucks were all over. It almost looked like they were both involved in something - does anyone know what happened?
All the major parts looked like they were still on both planes.
CGAA - YVR ground collision????

Bold highlight mine...
What does one need to consider it an emergency? Flames?

I’m still waiting for my white male privilege membership card. Must have gotten lost in the mail.
...... and the armchair quarterbacks come out in full force.
Unless you were onboard it is pretty hard to question the decision or non-decision for an emergency evacuation. The end result was 0 injuries, 0 fatalities. Have a little support for the crew for getting it back on the ground safely. Why must pilots do that to other pilots.
