pprecious, both flights continued to their destinations. The NTSB report indicates that the flight data recorders were removed from both planes (presumably this was done at the destination airport, or soon thereafter).

That the FDRs were removed at all, given this was a near-collision on a runway, probably reflects just how close the two planes came to colliding. From the FDRs and the ground radar trace, the NTSB should be able to reconstruct how far apart, in space and time, the two planes were when they crossed the runway intersection.
