Anyone else hope that this is a reporter's mistake and not an accurate account of the FAA spokesperson?
According to the CBC:
"They were more than 100 feet apart, we don't know how much more," FAA spokesman Donn Walker said. "The Air Canada jet had already finished crossing the runway when the America West jet flew over the runway at about 100 feet."
