Two passenger planes carrying a total of 1,000 people narrowly averted a collision over Scotland in June, a report by a British flight safety watchdog has revealed, according to the Scotsman newspaper. The pilots of the two Boeing 747s were warned to take immediate evasive action as the planes' paths gradually converged on June 23. They failed to properly follow instructions, either having "misheard or misinterpreted" them read the UK Airprox Board report, and instead flew closer.
