Wow. That was such a close call and UA863 was one of the four aircraft waiting for departure. Thanks for posting the link, Adrian.

NTSB link Here. Talks about Runway 28L being closed for construction works and that both pilots believed they were t the left of RWY 28L when in fact they were to the right of 28R.
