From Collins Concise English Dictionary:
Collide 1. to crash together with a violent impact. 2. to conflict, clash, disagree.
Aircraft do not "collide" with the runway, they land on it.


Question: Did the Jetblue A320 with the nosewheel stuck at 90 degrees "crash" or "collide" when it landed at LAX some years ago?

Answer: No.

If you don't believe me have a look on youtube. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LnVNZkYSht4
