when did this happen?

related, there was a story last week about a near-collision at midway last year. apparently, two planes were lining up for takeoff on different runways, but their routes would've had them colliding. and one of the pilots was notified about it with something like 1000 feet to go and then avoided it. stories like that do not make me envy air-traffic controllers. they make bank, but that has got to be extremely stressful.

A Near Miss?

Disaster seemed certain when a photographer captured these planes on course to collide over east London.

To the onlookers below, the aircraft looked set for a horrific mid-air crash.

The cameraman took the pictures of an Airbus A300 belonging to transport firm DHL, which seemed to narrowly avoid flying into the rear of a Japan Airlines Boeing 777.

The photographer was in the crowd attending West Ham's home FA Cup match at Upton Park stadium on Saturday.

But the Civil Aviation Authority says the incident was an optical illusion and not as dangerous as it appeared from below.

A spokesman said: 'It is impossible to tell from the ground how close aircraft are in the air.'

For a mid-air incident to be classed a near miss, the planes must be within three nautical miles horizontally or 1,000ft vertically of each other.

A DHL spokesman said the company took safety 'extremely seriously' and had investigated the claims.

He said: 'In this instance a proper distance between the two planes was maintained at all times.'

Experts say the blue skies and sunshine added to the optical illusion as the conditions distorted the perspective of those watching below.

1000 ft...ain't that much. I don't want to be within 1000ft of anything moving that fast.

i was at a stop sign waiting to pull out and was looking left, not thinking there'd be anyone crossing in front of me, and i started to pull out and looked in front of me to see her almost fall over as my bumper hit her leg. i said sorry and then sped off before she could do anything else.
