A 747 coming in for a landing missed a 737 that wandered onto the runway by just 185 feet. A collision could have killed the nearly 300 people on the two planes. That's a big deal. But the folks in the control tower at LAX didn't bother reporting it to the FAA.
The FAA needs information like that to find ways of preventing other near collisions on runways. The August incident is being held up as symbolic of how these cases are ignored or overlooked. (USAToday)
