#2 Gosh, they drive aircraft the same way they drive cars!

There is no "right of way", there is only the "I was there first" rule. If you're there first, then you're right. The plane that got hit in the tail was there first, so the other plane is in the wrong. This result can only be obtained after a shouted argument in the middle of the street attended by at least 50 bystanders. I can only imagine the scene as hundreds of passengers crowd around to watch the two pilots argue on the runway.

#3 "grazed each other when sliding at Beijing Capital Airport"

Sliding? I sure hope this is a mis-translation.

#4 During the Cold War the pilots, etal. could be exiled = shot = blacklisted for few decades for embarassing the Motherland/FatherLand, the Party, the People, and proper Socialism - as far as I know, post-Cold War they could still be.
