Default "Tombstone" agency splitting hairs again


A close call between two planes at O'Hare Airport this
summer was closer than originally reported.

The National Transportation Safety Board said Tuesday that
an Atlas Air cargo plane and a United Airlines jet came
within 35 feet of colliding on July 23 -- not 300 feet as
reported back in July by the Federal Aviation Administration.

The incident was one of the most serious in a string of
runway incursions at O'Hare this year.
