A Daily Mail article with graphics and animation supposedly derived from the FlightAware plot of the FAA SMES data:

Twenty six feet from catastrophe: Terrifying video re-enacts Air Canada plane's near-disaster at San Francisco Airport

A new animated video shows how an Air Canada plane almost hit four jumbo jets waiting on the tarmac at San Francisco Airport earlier this month

The video uses data from FlightAware to chart Air Canada Flight 759's location as it nearly landed on the taxiway instead of the runway

At its lowest, the Air Canada plane was only 26 feet above the top of United Airlines flight 863's tail

The video also includes audio from the Air Traffic Control tower, which shows just how startling the near hit was for the pilots on the ground and in the air

In total, more than 1,000 people's lives were put at risk in the incident
