lurker, any person who saw the go around knows there wasn't another aeroplane on the runway and that if someone did taxi into place after the go around then it's not a near miss. Any of the passengers on the QF439 wouldn't have been in any position to see the runway 10 seconds later. I can see that you're leaving open the possibility for traveler Martin Russell of Hawthorn to be simply wrong but I'm calling 'bull****e' instead.

PS: I suspect it was a bit lower than 10m too!
