    Nearly missed, and near miss are totally different things. Near is just description of what kind of miss this is, but it is still a miss. Near miss, far miss, typical miss, etc.

      Pretty sure they were referring to the “near collisions” in the article title.

          Yes, I understood that. The person you replied to, on the other hand, likely was referencing the title.
