For those who have flown into SFO, can you give any additional information on the Air Canada near miss last Friday night? Was this as close as the news reports are making out it to be? Also, were there any extenuating circumstances (i.e., approach lights out, etc) ? The approach lighting configuration is showing as an ALSF-2. The audio tapes sounds like one of the pilot's sitting on the taxiway was staying alert and made a timely warning call - keep your head on a swivel even when you are sitting on the ground...
