Another Near Miss at LAX – Planes Nearly Collide on the Ground

.:: Aero-News Network: The Aviation and Aerospace World’s Daily/Real-Time News and Information Service ::.

In what has been termed a near-miss, a WestJet Boeing 737 that
had just arrived on the north field of the airport was taxiing to
its gate when it began to cross an active departure runway, and
nearly collided with a Northwest Airbus A320 on its takeoff roll,
according to the Los Angeles Times.

The story says that this is incident number 8 for the year. If I’m flying to LA, I think I’ll stick to Burbank !
