Is there any aggregation of near misses? How often do things like this happen?


Sibling has the links to the authoritative data from the FAA, a search for “runway incursion” at AvHerald[0] will also yield some relevant info.

Not quite an answer to the exact question, but the FAA does publish hot spots (overview: https://www.faa.gov/airports/runway_safety/hotspots, full list: https://aeronav.faa.gov/afd/29Dec2022/All_Hotspot.PDF).

A near miss is a collision. This was a near collision ;)


Classic George Carlin bit on this.

A near miss as opposed to a far miss, the type that happens when a plane in China misses one in the US
