Seen many photos similar to this, and many are not close calls. This is a good pic of a Lufthansa 747 and United 757 on final to SFO.
The runway centerlines are only 750ft apart, that means the edge of the runways are only 550ft apart. Check out this pic.

I have been in an airplane approaching to SFO that was in the same situation like this. It is an interesting experience.

Nope. If you go to their site, it explains that it is an optical illusion, due to camera angles.
