Explanation: A narrowly avoided collision involving two or more aircraft, ships, boats, or motor vehicles.
A missile strike that is extremely close to but not directly on target.
Idioms: near miss
A narrowly avoided mishap; also, an attempt that falls just short of success. For example, It was a near miss for that truck, since the driver had crossed the center strip into on-coming traffic, or Her horse kept having a near miss in every race, so she decided to sell it. This expression originated during World War II, when it signified a bomb exploding in the water near enough to a ship to damage its hull. Soon afterward it acquired its present meanings.
US Military Dictionary: near miss
Any circumstance in flight where the degree of separation between two aircraft is considered by either pilot to have constituted a hazardous situation involving potential risk of collision.

Example sentence(s):
(दुर्घटना आदि से) बाल बाल बचना=बहुत ही थोड़े अन्तर या सकर के कारण दुर्घटना संकट आदि से ...
बाल-बाल बचना-(बड़ी कठिनाई से बचना)-गाड़ी की टक्कर होने पर मेरा मित्र बाल-बाल बच गया।
Explanation: हालांकि " बाल बाल बचना" (जैसा कि रावल साब और सुप्रभजी बताए हैं) बहुत ही उपयुक्त शब्द है पर मुझे लगता है यह शब्द होनेवाले के ऊपर ज्यादा जंचता है। जिसके कारण यह घटना या दुर्घटना हो रही है उसे प्रकाशित करने के लिए शायद ये शब्द काम आएंगे।
