Narrative:
We were cleared to 10000 ft by approach control. We were descending through 10000 ft when TCASII gave a TA. TCASII then came back with alert to stop rate of descent, which we did at 10500. A widebody transport was in a climbing turn right at us. TCASII showed he was within 700 ft. We had a visual with him the whole time and he climbed through our altitude slightly left of us without clearance. No report was made as far as we know by either aircraft or ATC.

Narrative: WE WERE CLRED TO 10000 FT BY APCH CTL. WE WERE DSNDING THROUGH 10000 FT WHEN TCASII GAVE A TA. TCASII THEN CAME BACK WITH ALERT TO STOP RATE OF DSCNT, WHICH WE DID AT 10500. A WDB WAS IN A CLBING TURN R AT US. TCASII SHOWED HE WAS WITHIN 700 FT. WE HAD A VISUAL WITH HIM THE WHOLE TIME AND HE CLBED THROUGH OUR ALT SLIGHTLY L OF US WITHOUT CLRNC. NO RPT WAS MADE AS FAR AS WE KNOW BY EITHER ACFT OR ATC.
