A United flight nearly crashed into a Black Hawk at a SoCal airport on Tuesday night, stunning air traffic controllers
One controller remarked that he would address the incident because “that was not good.”
United 589 was on final approach to Orange County’s John Wayne Airport and missed the military helicopter by a couple hundred feet.
The flight came close enough to receive an anti-collision alert. It comes days after an Air Canada plane crashed into a fire truck at LaGuardia Airport.
The plane smashed into a rescue truck at New York’s LaGuardia Airport late Sunday — killing two pilots and hospitalizing 41 others in a horrific crash that obliterated the front of the jet.
Audio caught an air traffic controller frantically trying to avoid the deadly smash, repeatedly crying out, “Stop, stop, stop, stop!”
He was later heard admitting, “I messed up.”
