That's an interesting one, since the spacing on those corridors is quite well regulated. I wonder which "incident" W5 is referring to?
Although I expect the story will be mostly misconstrued hyperbole based on a complete lack of contextual understanding.
I have yet to encounter any journalist that has even a cursory grasp of aviation, the laws, rules and procedures and context for which hey are applied.
These silly and ignorant journalists always try to apply some completely inapplicable analog to aviation - like cars or something similar - instead of actually learning about the topic and reporting intelligently on the topic.
Oh wait, I forgot, intelligence and reporting are mutually exclusive in this day and age.
