Endeavor Air Flights 5047 & 5155 (October 1, 2025): The nose of Flight 5047 (arriving from Charlotte, North Carolina) collided with the wing of Flight 5155 (departing for Roanoke, Virginia) while both aircraft were taxiing on the tarmac of LaGuardia Airport. One flight attendant was injured
 
You know, we often hear about ATC in the USA being curt and sometimes hard to understand (radio noise), but what about EV5047 after the (glancing) collision: "Ground, Endeavour 5047 we need trucks on Mike". Hardly clear what they wanted - Ground queried - Emergency trucks?

And a few transmissions later say are or want to shutting down (and therefore blocking 2 taxi-ways).
