    I got pictures of a nearmiss!!!!

    Ok, I just got done doing the front page story for Newsday in the
    AM….Check it out!

    I will not go into the entire story, because I want everyone to purchase a
    copy in the am which will get me enough money to me a new house!

    I was minding my own business when I started to hear what sounded like
    small screeching. I picked up my camera and looked up in the direction it
    was coming from and realized that it was coming from the Southwest 737
    cockpit a few thousand feet above, It was the Co-pilot in a nightmarish
    scream because he was looking at the closest call of his life. They
    crossed a mere 3 ˝ inches from an British Airways 747-400. It was
    unbelievable as the 747 had to take emergency drastic maneuvers by
    quickly banking the aircraft 3 degrees to the right, narrowly avoiding a
    midair that would be the worst in all of US aviation history. I am sure
    glad that the major news agencies are picking this up and not cover up
    this incident like most others. I would appreciate all the support you
    guys have because we all know that people will start coming out of the
    woodwork trying to question my credibility. Thank you all for your
    support!

    Here is the photo proof of the incident!!!

    Note: Picture was viewed on a 14 inch Laptop LCD panel and I used a
    Stanley tape measure for the scale.

    Lol.

    As George Carlin once said, shouldn't it really be called a near hit? A near miss is when they DO hit each other...they nearly missed, but they didn't. :)
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    Well, at the time I was taking pictures of aircraft. My occupation is retail but I am a computer repair dude....I think.

    I hope you do not believe anything else on the internet! :lol: Hearing a pilot scream from right outside an aircraft is hard with the engines running, so you know how good I must be! ;)

    Boeing released it after the A380.....It can ONLY land at airprots with Parallel runways..(One runway per main gear. It helps if there sia third runway in the midle but this always isnt available so......
    "AAL 1232 heavy on 22L and 22L
