Story summary

Two planes collided on a taxiway at Miami International Airport on Saturday night, around 9:15 p.m. local time. A Copa Airlines Boeing 737, which had just landed from Panama City, struck the nose of a UPS Boeing 767 that was preparing to depart for Bogota, Colombia. According to audio from air traffic control, the UPS pilot admitted to hitting the Copa plane after the controller asked if they had collided.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
