FAA Investigates Near-Collision of Two Southwest Jets in Nashville
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating a close call involving two Southwest Airlines jets at Nashville International Airport. The incident occurred when Southwest Flight 507, attempting to land in gusty winds, was instructed to go around, leading to a potential collision path with Southwest Flight 1152, which was taking off from a parallel runway. The planes ended up with only 500 feet of vertical separation, triggering cockpit warning systems that alerted pilots to take immediate evasive action. Both flights managed to avoid a collision, with Flight 507 landing safely on its second attempt and Flight 1152 continuing its departure.
