If CNN reports it as a near miss, they we can assume they had about a mile and 500 feet in between.

No kidding, they are not as bad as Fox obviously, but cable news is all about entertainment.
Sounds like a good job by the SWA folks but they may need to write up the cockpit seat cushions!

An aquaintance was in the jumpseat. Said it was a legit close call

If it was at 9L and 21R intersection then someone needs to be fired at Dtw. How many close calls are we going to have until someone gets killed again. Planes should not be taxing on 9L even if it didn't happen there I still feel strongly about it

" not as bad as Fox obviously" says a democrat.

My source is involved in the situation also, not cnn, but a player

Sounds to me this was as close as they come

Taxi slow, look at 10-9's super good, make extra money, people get to live, its a beautiful thing

Oh and one other thing, silence that cell phone!

Im guilty too of forgetting

Probably not 9L/21R. I can't imagine a 737 could rotate that fast.
