that is crazy, that kind of stuff is NOT suppose to happen. i would tend to believe the whistleblower in the story.
I think this story happened with [http://flightaware.com/live/flight/AAL951/history/20110118/0230Z/KJFK/SBGR AAL951] on Jan 17.
a mile apart is far from what is considered "nearly collide"
The altitude was 200 feet apart if you viewed the entire video.
200 feet apart vertically, 1 mile horizontally if you viewed the entire video
It could been another mid air collusion between DHL B757 and Tupolev 154. Glad the AA pilot listened to the TCAS unlike crew of TU-154
It's still a critical safety issue. "That was not good", said the pilot.
