|  Near-Miss (T38)
I never understand why it is referred to as a "near-miss". It should be a "near-hit". Whatever it is, it's scary! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLVtstYAZLY |

| Re: Near-Miss (T38)
With the near miss thing it makes sense if depending on what context is used. It doesn't mean "near" as in almost, but as in close (proximity). It missed closely, so it was a near miss. |

So it would be like a "near-survival" experience rather than "near-death" experience. |
