BURBANK, CA
FAA spokesman Ian Gregor said Tuesday the pilot of Southwest
Flight 2534 from Las Vegas got an automated alert because it was
briefly on a collision course with another aircraft. The plane was
flying at about 6,000 feet Saturday about 20 miles away from Bob
Hope Airport.
Gregor says the Southwest pilot made some sudden maneuvers to
avoid the other plane, which was about two miles away. He says one
Southwest flight attendant suffered a broken shoulder, the other
was bruised.
The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board are
investigating the incident.
