The Federal Aviation Administration is currently investigating a concerning incident that occurred at Reagan National Airport involving a JetBlue flight and a Southwest Airlines flight being put on an apparent collision course.
According to air traffic control audio recordings, controllers urgently instructed the JetBlue flight to halt its takeoff as the Southwest Airlines flight began taxiing across the same runway. The two planes came to a stop approximately 400 feet apart, with the forward fuselage of the Southwest flight having entered the runway.
