We cant see the wingtips 100% of the time. so we really don't know where they are and never will know. So if we see something might be close, we all stop and find out. Every time I discover "Oh! I had a ton of room." We never keep going when in doubt. This A350 crew would have done the same.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say the A350 Crew got distracted while taxiing and didn't even see the RJ on the taxiway. The focus was on stayiijng on the centerline and troubleshoot something. Interruptions are the start of a lot safety mishaps. The pressure to stop, set the parking break, and hold everyone else up who are taxiing behind you is too great. I think I'll start doing that more often...set the parking break. I dont do it oftern enough. I should have yesterday..... could of been me.

I would wager that simple distractions have been the start of a high percentage of accidents/incidents.

They were undoubtedly distracted. The atc audio has them stating they needed to park for a few minutes, so atc told them to pull up a ways to park. I’m assuming to get them out of the traffic flow but just guessing.
With incidents like this I can see sadly new FAA taxiway setback requirements and distances changing to require more. I don’t want to get started on requirements at GA airports but I’m not a fan.

Although The CRJ in question is a -900 with more seats, I catch your drift. Row 17 is the last one in the fifty seat CRJs and has the added attraction of being located exactly across from the s---house door. Clearly a fine example of "Preferred Seating". I can see a gate agent right now explaining that 17B is "conveniently located adjacent to premium-inflight services".

Makes you wonder why they don't install proximity sensors on the wing tips like they have on newer cars. You can get aftermarket wireless systems for cheap. Would think the feds would sign off on it for the safety factor.

Waldo, one my last commercial flights was in that row. I recorded the sound level on the iPhones built in decibel meter.
It wasn’t pretty.
