Unsurprisingly, the Daily Mail prominently features a deliberately-misleading photo and claims that the aircraft "came within 67 feet of the air traffic control tower."

I don't mean to minimize the incident. It's certainly concerning.
It did descend to within 70 feet of the tower elevation, and it wasn't far from directly overflying the tower. There is no minimizing this event...like the close call runway incursions of a year ago, another narrowly missed disaster!
