Near-Miss at JFK on Dec 9 ?
Local newscasts say that an Eva Air B74F and an American Eagle nearly collided just after 4 PM at JFK on Dec. 9. The B74F was approaching 13L but decided to "go around" while the American Eagle, approaching 22L, also decided to "go around". Both aircraft came within 300 feet, according to the reports. What is strange is that Eva Air has no flights into JFK according to their published schedules, so I have no flight # to look-up. Who can clear-up this mystery? I was always skeptical about using the 13L and 22L simultaneously for arrivals, although they are perpendicular.

The B74F was flight EVA 632 from ANC while the American Eagle was Flight 753 from YUL. They crossed paths at 15:54 as the B74F went around from 13L. The B74F was at 900 while the E135 was at 600, I believe.

That's exactly how the media is getting the clips or such incidents. They just look in the forum. Yes, there was one posted in the forum a few hours after this incident.

I actually saw it happening, at least half of it. I flew DL to FLL on Sunday evening, I got to the airport early and was sitting in Terminal 3 looking at the tarmac and the landings. I saw the AA ERJ abort its landing on 22. Of course I couldn't see 13L activities from where I was and didn't think too much of it. I did wonder why the ERJ had to go around as there was no obvious reason. Now I know.
