What do near misses have to do with Boeing? Boeing doesn’t run air traffic controllers.

The media are so stupid, all they know are themes.

I noticed in the article they used the term “near-collision” instead of “near-miss”.

I think it must be “The Carlin Effect”....

“Here’s a phrase that apparently the airlines simply made up: ‘near miss’. They say that if 2 planes almost collide, it’s a ‘near miss’. Bullsh, my friend. It’s a near hit! A collision is a near miss.
[WHAM! CRUNCH!]
“Look, they nearly missed!”
“Yes, but not quite.”

Remember that Boeing is a big defense contractor and see Tagline for explanation.
