Thought I'd share this, pretty wild.
there are several great youtube videos[1-4] that show the wakes (the wingtip vortices in particular) created by various aircraft.
This incident brings the Reduced Vertical Separation Minima (RVSM)[5] into question. Strategic Lateral Offset Procedure (SLOP)[6] can be used used to avoid such incidents.
