2 jets have fender bender on JFK tarmac - Newsday (http://www.newsday.com/news/new-york/2-jets-have-fender-bender-on-jfk-tarmac-1.9470021)

If the Newsday report is to be believed, it seems strange that the NTSB base the need for an investigation on the effect (the damage) rather than the cause (circumstances that led to two aircraft getting damaged).
