From the folks at CBS news. Not sure of accuracy.
- Federal authorities are investigating.

- According to the FAA, EgyptAir Flight 986 was instructed to stay behind a "hold line," 250 feet behind the runway.

- FAA spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen says the EgyptAir pilot failed to stay behind the line, but didn't enter the runway.

- Bergen says the Lufthansa plane stopped "a considerable distance" from the EgyptAir jet.
I am guessing the reporter means "hold short line" in second bullet.
