A British plane was forced to take evasive action after a German jet came within 180m (600ft) over the Atlantic - allegedly for the sake of a photo.
Investigations are under way into the incident between two planes, which were carrying more than 400 people.
Media report that the pilot of the German jet wanted to get close enough to get a picture of the other plane's pilot, whom he mistook for a colleague.
