And I would add that I dont immediately accept that these are "reliable third parties"...
These are mostly people who have no relevant information, but may well just be basing these ‘stories’ on automated processing of ADS-B data. The pluck out one data point, “8,600fpm ‘dive’” or “within 800 feet” and throw on a few words to sensationalize the story all in an effort to get a story on the air. Google ‘DIKW’ an realize how far it is from ‘data’ to ‘knowledge’.
I HATE these automatically generated (or discovered) stories! Most news streams these days are worthless because they are polluted by autogen “articles”.
Not every procedures violation is a threat to safety. They are ALL tracked to HELP safety, for example, the “hot spots” on airport diagrams. In this case, a B777 and a C206 (3800lb MGW) came within a QUARTER MILE of each other. And without more INFORMATION, we don’t even know if the C206 pilot was standing on the brakes to make a taxiway instead of rolling out another quarter mile making his taxi his parking further and longer…
Finally, the article posted stated the “cargo plane” (inciting visions of B747) was a Cessna 206 ‘turboprop’. My initial thought was a Caravan, but then I thought “wait a minute…” Unless it was heavily modified, the C206 is NOT a turboprop.
My point is, we are picking and choosing the data we want to panic over, when these articles are CLEARLY not accurate.
