Indeed so, no doubt the cockpit crews had some very baggy trousers after that nodding acquaintance meeting.  |

Unless the passenger plane made some rough avoidance moves I wouldn't be surprised the people on board didn't notice a bloody thing. At the speed the planes are going it's like 'blink, blink, what you may a plane passed?'

Actually I am sure people did notice. there were automatic Colission Warnings given. These mandated one plane to stay level and one to climb rather strongly. Strong enough movements to be well and truly noticed by the passengers. |

Gypo's and Frogs were never meant to fly
And WFT is it with those units they are using ?
300ft vertical separation and 0.74nm hori
Why use nautical miles in this instance ? And not feet ?...any ideas
