Now Captain Aimer says that AC 759 was 'less than a second from a disaster'.
The article linked below has a graphic showing UA 1 holding past the Cat I hold line
and says 'the flight came within just 29 feet of one plane'.
Anyway, looks like this incident might not get swept under the rug with the media attention.

WASHINGTON -- It could have been one of the worst aviation disasters in history.
Last Friday night, an Air Canada flight lined up to land on a taxiway in San Francisco where four other airliners were waiting to take off. It pulled up just in time.
On Friday, Canada's Transportation Safety Board said early indications are the flight came within just 29 feet of one plane and "overflew the first two aircraft by 100 feet."
"We're talking less than a second from a disaster," said Ross Aimer, a retired airline captain and CEO of Aero Consulting Experts.
