Southwest Airlines flight dives to avoid mid-air collision near Burbank ...Middle East

Minutes after takeoff from Burbank, California, the flight dropped several hundred feet, according to flight tracking data. American comedian Jimmy Dore posted on X that he and others “flew out of their seats & bumped heads on ceiling” as the plane “aggressively” descended.

Southwest Airlines stated its crew “responded to two onboard traffic alerts Friday afternoon... requiring them to climb and descend to comply with the alerts.” The flight proceeded to Las Vegas and landed without further issues. The airline confirmed no passengers were injured, but two flight attendants required medical treatment.

This incident adds to growing concerns over US aviation safety following recent accidents and near-misses. In January, a mid-air collision near Washington, D.C., killed 67 people. In May, the Trump administration proposed reforms to the outdated air traffic control system, which faces staffing shortages due to FAA layoffs. - AFP
