A business jet came close to a mid-air collision with a Turkish Airlines passenger plane after taking off from London City Airport, a report has said. The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) study described the near- miss over London as a "serious incident". ---/quote--- http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-11237496 |

(Incidentally, the story has been updated since it first went live, with some analysis and an illustrative map.) I took a quick look at the PPRUNE thread on this (11 posts at present), which has a few interesting comments: http://www.pprune.org/rumours-news/4...er-london.html I do like the link to George Carlin's thoughts on the matter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuCN6CD8j_s Indeed! |

They did post an apology for the misleading story about the Javelin trains, but it was small and out of the way. Neil -- Neil Williams in Milton Keynes, UK To reply put my first name before the at. |

Is it even serious? Were the planes on a direct collision course or would they have passed each other anyway if no one had noticed? B2003 |
