and if they were about to take off, most likely the wing tanks would be full.

so this is a little more serious than a "fender bender".

Not to mention that a bump might have bent a structural member inside the wing, deforming it or prevent flight control surfaces from working properly.

But hey, everything at the control towers is JUST FINE!!! All is well!
