Can you be specific about the data that you were referencing? Yes. In regard to the data, I'm not going to give the exact numbers, but what I've told everyone is We saw what's called loss of separation. There's safe distances that airplanes need to maintain in the airspace. We saw incursions in that separation. Now, was it a near miss? No, but there were incursions, loss of separation.
