Another wingtip collision at SFO,what’s going on with United’s ground ops?

Just saw that two United planes clipped wings during pushback at SFO. Flight 863 to Sydney and Flight 877 to Hong Kong. It happened around 12:35 a.m. in an area where air traffic control doesn't directly communicate with flight crews. No injuries, thankfully, but this is starting to feel like a pattern. There was a similar incident at Reagan National just a few weeks ago. Between tight gate spaces, staffing shortages, and outdated infrastructure, it seems like these ground mishaps are becoming more common I fly through SFO often, and while the airport is usually efficient, these incidents are concerning. Is it time for a serious look at ground operations and safety protocols?
