This discussion reminds me of the collision of two Northwest Airlines aircraft in Detroit in 1990.

The aircraft on takeoff roll, a 727, sustained damage on one wingtip. The captain brought the aircraft to a stop and immediately ordered the flight engineer down the rear airstairs to make a visual inspection. The FE reported no flames or fuel leaks, so the captain did not order an emergency evacuation.

The captain was subsequently violated by the FAA for that decision.
