SUMMARY: A near-collision incident occurred at Chicago’s Midway International Airport involving a Southwest Airlines jet and a private plane. The Southwest flight was landing when the private jet, which was instructed to stop before another runway, continued and nearly caused a crash. The Southwest pilot executed an emergency maneuver to fly over the private plane and landed safely. Passengers expressed relief but also anxiety about flying after the close call. Investigators suggest the incident may be due to human error rather than a systemic issue. Transportation Secretary Shan Duffy emphasized the importance of pilots adhering to air traffic control instructions.
