    It’s not actually true, so don’t worry.

    Edit. If you’re going to reply with an “actually” comment, don’t. Just go back to Reddit.

      It is actually true though. Just the FAA’s definition of “near collision” is much much looser than what a lay person would think.

      I mean it is true, it’s just “near collisions” has a broad definition in terms of air safety. Things that are very low risk or potential problems that were simply resolved before they grew are still recorded.
