You obviously have no idea what your talking about skippy.
According the the FAA:
A near midair collision is defined as an incident associated with the operation of an aircraft in which a possibility of collision occurs as a result of proximity of less than 500 feet to another aircraft, or a report is received from a pilot or a flight crew member stating that a collision hazard existed between two or more aircraft.
By luck, these two converging planes missed with other by 700 feet. Could have easily been disaster in the sky.
Have YOU ever measured 700 feet? Of course they should never have been that close but my point is this happens a Lot and pretending it is time for More Fear is absurd. Are YOU saying Never Fly again? Skippy.

How long does it take a craft travelling ast 400 MPH to cover 700 feet?
1.2 seconds to go 700 ft at 400 mph.
A long blink…
But they were heading pretty much the same direction so not near a 400 or 800 mph closing speed.
