Out or safe, depending on the umpire's judgment. The umpire is not going to "see" it as "at the same time," even if the limits of his physical senses actually had it happening at the same time.

If the ball touches the bag, I've got nothing unless that ball is in a fielder's possession ... but that's just me.

I like it. Best description of the perception of two events happening simultaneously that I've seen.
