In a report that will make you want to travel by car for the rest of your life, the FAA's records detail how "near collision" episodes are frequent and ongoing.

    I didn’t want to know that.

      It’s not actually true, so don’t worry.

        It is actually true though. Just the FAA’s definition of “near collision” is much much looser than what a lay person would think.

          I don’t know. I’ve seen some pretty loose lay persons.

        I mean it is true, it’s just “near collisions” has a broad definition in terms of air safety. Things that are very low risk or potential problems that were simply resolved before they grew are still recorded.

        “Anyone who points out that I’m wrong needs to leave this place.”

        Such fragility. Yikes.

          No. The top comments already explain why the article is wrong.

          He is just worried that HIS “actually” wouldn’t stand out as nicely if someone added second one…
