SFO parallel approach

[742]

I can believe it, having been there and landed simultaneously on 28R in a 747-400 with another (can't remember what type) landing on 28L quite a few years ago.

It happened due to us catching up the other aircraft due to differential approach speeds. It was serious cavok conditions, but I still, to this day, wonder if continuing was the correct decision

Ditto. In my case I was in a 74 near MGLW and right at bug--and passed an A320 very close in. I suspect that United had a few shocked passengers. IMO going around is really not a good option, as the wake turbulence geometry gets worse.

And for those commenting, the compression effect is small. SFO is a very tight, very flawed system. Just look at the airport diagram.
