A police car dash cam caught the insane moment on video.
This video below shows how close they were to colliding and the audio transmission between the pilots and ATC.
We can’t have that kind of confusion in the skies.
Shout out to that American Airlines pilot for being on top of his shit.
I’m the kind of idiot who is just going to trust you’re doing your job.
That pilot was on his A-Game and it saved around 200 people from a tragic death.
Give that man a raise.
it’s possible for you to have an off-day at a bunch of jobs and get on by.
If you’re a teacher and you’re hungover just audible to a movie day and you’re fine.
Even a pro athlete is prone to off-nights that fans brush aside.
A pilot at least has auto-pilot these days to fly the damn thing itself for the most part.
But if you’re an air traffic controller you have to be on point every single day.
If you’re distracted and not locked in you could easily have two planes collide in mid-air.
Sounds absolutely miserable and unnecessary.
There might not be an amount of money you could offer me to do that full-time.
