If you are using "knowledge" as a mere

sure, but does a near miss between two planes qualify as "knowledge",
or is it simply just a bit of trivia, an unimportant data point?

Does your meaning of "knowledge" match any of these definitions? If
so, when you write articles, please keep do your "knowledge" in check
and give me the "information" instead.
Those are pretty bad definitions, and none of them seem to fit the
context of this thread.
As for the question of whether or not this particular "near miss
between two planes" is unimportant, as I've already pointed out it
clearly is not. The incident is a clear example of the use of AMASS -
so it is a very important data point for anyone doing research on such
systems. Now maybe you could argue that this bit of knowledge is too
specialized for Wikipedia (and I'd still disagree), but it is
certainly not trivia.
