The photo is from the BBC News website. It shows what appears to be a near miss between a DHL cargo plane and a Japanese airliner. Except, no one in either air traffic control at Heathrow or in the two airlines is aware of a near miss. Apparently no safety systems sounded an alert, nor did the pilots on either plan notice anything amiss.

My instinct is optical illusion, but I no almost nothing about airliners so I can't access what they are, their sizes etc.

Any one provide me with any clues.
