Close Call at Midway Airport

A significant incident occurred at Chicago's Midway Airport when a Southwest Airlines jet nearly collided with a private business jet on the runway. As the Southwest flight was about to land, the private jet entered the runway without authorization, prompting the Southwest crew to perform an emergency climb to avoid disaster. Fortunately, they were able to circle back and land safely, though the entire event was recorded on airport surveillance. The FAA is investigating the matter, adding to the growing concerns over a series of aviation close calls that have unsettled travelers across the nation.
