Southwest jets narrowly avert collision near Nashville airport
TL;DR Summary
Two Southwest Airlines Boeing 737s came dangerously close near Nashville International Airport as a landing and an on-parallel-runway departure intersected, with cockpit collision alarms (resolution advisories) ordering evasive maneuvers and the planes ending up about 500 feet apart vertically. Flight 507 from Myrtle Beach aborted its landing and landed safely on a second attempt, while Flight 1152 departed and continued to Knoxville; the FAA is investigating. Southwest lauded its pilots and crews for handling the incident professionally, and flight-tracking data from Flightradar24 documented the near-miss.
