    Thought as much...plus it would have been unusual for them both to bank the same way?

    It's true, Bruce Willis was driving the big one with his arm in a sling while on the phone to his wife. Seriously! ;)

    The alleged 'near-miss' occurred at cruising altitude, anyhow.

    But I can't find any combination that puts Malaysian and Kuwaiti aircraft in the same airspace at the same time on the 5th April. Mainly because MAS don't use Pakistan airspace!

    Aha... I wonder if they meant Singapore Airlines. SIA322 to Heathrow was passing over Balochistan just as KAC205 was heading through the same region

    But there was a clear 3,000 ft altitude between them

    Looking online there is very little info. I expect it was a TCAS alert over Pakistan airspace. All reports (as in the top 6 on my google search!) have the same statement and mention the EK/EY TCAS alert a few weeks ago.



    This video is a travesty. A B744 with gear down meets a B707 (?) also with gear down but directly opposite!!
