The wikipedia page you got that from says that's a CGI rendering of the incident.  Who knows how accurate it is.

So what?

Did you even read that document?

The minimum slant distance was 135 meters, so the aircraft did NOT pass directly over other as that BS CGI image from wikipedia suggests. 

Further, from page 13, (my emphasis added):

"Aircraft A and Aircraft B were approaching very close to each other, while both airplanes were visually recognized by each other.  Both airplanes made avoidance maneuvers by visual observation of the other airplane just before crossing each other's flight path.

On that occasion, since Aircraft A made a rapid descent in order to pass under Aircraft B just before crossing, ..."

The picture is misleading, fabricated and is not based on the investigative data.  I guess it looks cool, though.
