As someone with zero experience in this environment, I have to admit I have pondered this also.
One thing that many here are criticising he pilot for choosing a wrong airport, but last I checked there has been no confirmation that the two aircraft in fact touched each other, let alone what actually occurred to the returned plane. Perhaps there was a flock of birds involved and thus any damage was known to be minimal ornthe initiap call was made when they suspected damage in the heat ofnthe emergency momebt, but on second glance, all was operating as expected..
I do look forward to the official report in understanding what actually happened.
