Interesting! I suspect random chance yielding that perfect crossing.But what would you expect for an error ellipse on this fix? It looks like we all have the longitude locked down to within a fraction of a second of arc. The expected uncertainly in latitude should be much higher, and all of our positions may well fall with a reasonable error ellipse.
