Enviado há
 
Passengers on-board a Qantas flight that had just landed in Perth were left bruised but grateful to be alive after their plane came seconds away from crashing into another flight.

Sure... that's what happens when immediately after touch-down you start up your facebook/instagram on your phone (head down, hunched back) because you are in full blown addiction withdrawal after a few hours without "social media".

You do realize that "flightaware" didn't write or cite anything - right?

One must accept LAHS clearance with caution. In most cases you are only saving a minute or two. Is this really worth the risk unless landing at a busy field?
