Air Canada Flight 759
On July 7, 2017, a plane was nearly in an accident at San Francisco International Airport in San Mateo County, California, United States. the flight came from toronto pearson international airport, and was about to land but things nearly went terribly wrong. due to the fact that they were turning some lights off because people need sleepy time, the captain went "hurrr, i'm gonna go to the place where some airplanes were waiting to take off (he couldn't see because sleepy time." luckily some people coiuld see and could see this dude was about to go down in history in a very bad way. so they went "go around air canada" and the dude nearly missed by 5 feet. The flight crew decided to go around prior to landing, after which it landed on 28R without further whoopsys. The aircraft on the taxiway left for their intended destinations without further oopsy-daisys.[1][2][3][4] The subsequent investigation by some safety nerds (NTSB) decided that the Air Canada airplane went down to 59 feet (18 m) above the ground before it went up, and that it missed hitting with one of the aircraft on the waiting-until-we-can-fly-road by
