2 Planes Nearly Collide at Florida Airport
Thursday , July 12, 2007
Two planes came within 100 feet of colliding at
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport after one missed its turn onto a taxiway and entered the runway where the other was about to land, federal authorities said.
Air traffic controllers noticed a plane entering a runway Wednesday as Delta Flight 1489 approached the same runway for a landing,
Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said.
The controllers alerted the Delta crew to pull up and circle the airport to avoid
United Flight 1544, which had missed a turn onto another taxiway, Bergen said.
