Southwest Airlines flight headed to Las Vegas takes dramatic plunge in response to nearby aircraft
SUMMARY: A Southwest Airlines flight from Southern California to Las Vegas plunged about 300 feet shortly after takeoff Friday due to an onboard alert of a nearby plane, injuring two flight attendants and causing panic among passengers. The plane abruptly jolted and dropped in response to collision warnings, with the pilot reportedly maneuvering to avoid another aircraft, a British fighter plane called a Hawker Hunter Mk. 58. The flight departed Hollywood Burbank Airport and landed safely in Las Vegas. The FAA is investigating, and Southwest is cooperating. This incident adds to recent concerns about aviation safety following a deadly midair collision in January.
