near miss

Mr Goldstone said the "ripple effect" of the attack had been felt by the "entire Jewish community" and described his family's near miss as "sheer fate".

“Every single time, it’s a near miss” of a train hitting a person, said Ryan Snow, the California State Chairman of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen.

After the terror of the incident, Ulasewicz said the revelation that his plane was involved in a near miss changed his emotions to anger.

But he remained in the very upper echelons of the game throughout that period of frustrating near misses.

While the school has had no incidents involving a pupil, Ms Rudge said there had been some near misses with parents.
