#9 Reminds me of all the times birds flew in front of my truck but only hit one (owl, glancing blow, and he flew off a few minutes later) - I guess the air flow around the truck diverted them, wonder if the same would happen with most Cessna-757 close encounters? |

#6 Cessna probably had no business being where the big boys fly - they move 3-4 times as fast as you. And if you’re uncontrolled close to a big airport your head better be in constant motion. Sure could have been a disaster. |

#5 General Aviation planes drop out of the air and kill people all the time. There were 21 fatal crashes in August 2022 alone and more happening every month. One wonders why GA is even allowed, what with the colossal waste of gasoline it is and that it's only open to the wealthy. |

#4 That is class B airspace, presumably over Orlando international airport. You MUST be in radio contact and have permission to be there. Somebody wasn't communicating with the correct people, not sure I'd put a video of that in public... |

#2 This sounds weird, especially if Mr. Clarke had to take 'evasive action'. A pilot health issue on the B757, perhaps? The tower? |

#1 Was it an Air Traffic controller issue, or something more sinister? Either way, will the FAA investigative report fully detail the cause or gloss it over? |
