"FAA Probes Close Call Between Southwest Flight and Control Tower"

The FAA is investigating a Southwest flight that veered off course during its approach to land at New York's LaGuardia Airport, possibly coming within 67 feet of the air traffic control tower. The incident occurred due to bad weather, prompting the pilots to abort their first approach and encounter turbulence and low visibility. The airline is reviewing the event as part of its safety systems, and other flights also experienced go-arounds at LaGuardia due to the inclement weather.
