NEW: Southwest pilot forced to nosedive to avoid a midair collision after takeoff from Burbank to Las Vegas. Passengers were reportedly launched out of their seats into the ceiling, with passengers comparing the incident to the ‘Tower of Terror’ ride. “About 10 minutes into the flight, we plummeted pretty far, and I looked around, and everyone was like, 'OK, that's normal',” one passenger said. “Then, within two seconds, it felt like the ride Tower of Terror, where we fell 20 to 30 feet in the air. The screaming, it was terrifying. We really thought we were plummeting to a plane crash.” After the incident, the pilot allegedly told the passengers that the plane almost collided with another plane, “and they had lost air traffic control signal.” (Fox News) At least one flight attendant was injured.

An Aeromexico plane nearly collided with a Delta Air Lines plane while landing in Mexico City on Monday. FlightRadar24 data shows Aeromexico Flight 1631 flew over Delta Flight 590 on runway 5R at Mexico's Benito Juarez International Airport before proceeding to land ahead of it on the same runway. The two aircraft were just 200 feet apart, according to data from FlightRadar24. Delta Air Lines said the Atlanta-bound flight with 150 people onboard was on its takeoff roll when the crew aborted after observing "another aircraft landing in front of their aircraft on the same runway." In a statement Delta said, "Because nothing is more important than the safety of our customers and people, Delta will fully cooperate with authorities as the circumstances around this flight are investigated. We appreciate the flight crew's actions to maintain situational awareness and act quickly – part of Delta's extensive training." Aeromexico said the airline is working closely with the authorities as they conduct a detailed investigation of the incident. "At Aeromexico, the safety of our customers and employees is, and will always be, our highest priority," the airline said in a statement. As authorities investigate the incident, aviation experts say they will consider whether there was a communication failure.

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a close call at Boston's Logan Airport Thursday involving a Delta Air Lines flight that was landing and a Cape Air plane that was taking off. Delta Flight 263, with 284 passengers and 11 crew members on board, was originally headed from Paris to New York's John F. Kennedy Airport, but was forced to divert to Boston because of weather conditions in the New York area, according to Delta officials. As the Airbus 330-900neo came in for a landing at Logan at about 4:15 p.m. Eastern Time, air traffic control told the flight crew to "go around" to keep a safe distance from a smaller plane that was taking off, according to ATC audio. "Air traffic control instructed Delta Air Lines Flight 263 to perform a go-around at Boston Logan International Airport because Cape Air Flight 548 was cleared to takeoff from an intersecting runway," the FAA said in a statement.

Briefing from Dan Baker, the NTSB investigator in charge, on yesterday's plane crash that took the life of Greg Biffle, his family, and three others. The airplane took off at approx. 10:05 AM ET from runway 28 at Statesville Regional Airport, about 10 minutes prior to the accident. The plane made an initial left turn west before making another left turn east towards the airport approx. five minutes after takeoff. The plane then flew a left base turn to runway 28. The initial point of impact was a runway light stanchion located ~1800 ft from the runway threshold. The plane then impacted trees, two other light stanchions, and the airport perimeter fence short of the runway threshold before coming to rest near the runway threshold. All four corners of the airplane was well as flight control surfaces have been identified in the wreckage/debris field, and both engines were present with the main wreckage. The majority of the fuselage and inboard wing sections were consumed by the post-impact fire. Visual meteorological conditions included drizzle and broken ceilings. The wind was calm with five statute miles visibility.

Footage of the Air France Flight 4590 disaster. It was the only fatal Concorde flight, July 25, 2000. On this day 26 years ago, Air France Flight 4590 became the only Concorde ever lost in an accident, killing all 113 people on board and 4 on the ground, resulting in what is famously called "the crash that killed Concorde." Concorde had completed nearly 27 years of passenger service without a fatal accident. During takeoff from Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport, Flight 4590 struck a titanium strip that had fallen from a Continental Airlines DC-10 minutes earlier. The debris burst a tire, whose fragments ruptured a fuel tank, causing a fire and the loss of two engines. Unable to climb, the aircraft crashed into a hotel less than two minutes after takeoff.

🚨NEW: Southwest flight erupted in applause after an unhinged leftist woman, who claimed she worked for the Minnesota governor, was kicked off a flight in Miami over the weekend. According to witnesses, the woman was already furious because the airline allowed disabled passengers to board before her. Once on the plane, she began harassing another passenger who happened to be an immigrant. The confrontation reportedly went on for over 30 minutes before the airline finally removed her from the flight. She claimed she was from New York but worked with a progressive Minnesota organization, insisting she was being removed for that reason and alleging that most of the passengers were conservatives.

🚨 BIOHAZARD DECLARED MID-AIR - FLIGHT FORCED INTO EMERGENCY DIVERSION A packed Frontier flight traveling from El Salvador to Atlanta spiraled into chaos at 35,000 feet after a complete bathroom failure turned into a biohazard situation mid-air. Passengers say they were informed after boarding that only ONE bathroom was working on the aircraft. Mid-flight, someone threw up in the sink, rendering the last restroom unusable and leaving 100+ passengers with ZERO working toilets on an international flight. With no way to resolve the situation and passengers unable to hold it any longer, the crew declared a biohazard and made the call to DIVERT THE PLANE TO CANCUN. Not because of weather. Not because of a mechanical failure. All due to a biohazard caused by failed bathrooms. This happened in international airspace with an unplanned landing in another country. All because basic systems broke down. Is this acceptable air travel, or has flying officially turned into survival mode?

NEW: TMZ alleges there was a fifth plane on 9/11 that was covered up by the FBI. In a new documentary, TMZ interviewed 3 flight attendants and the pilot who were on United Flight 23. After being evacuated from the plane, the pilot says they later found that the hatch on the bottom of the plane had been opened. "The airplane was locked and sealed when I left the airplane, so something else was going on that I couldn't explain." The flight crew said there were four "Arabs" on the plane who demanded that the flight take off when flight attendants tried giving them food. One of the men had requested to see the cockpit before takeoff. The crew says they were interviewed by the FBI, but never heard back, and never found out if the men were questioned or not. "We have requested information about Flight 23 ... we did not get a reply," TMZ said.

"I fly internationally. Nowhere else in the world are you asked to switch off your phone on a flight. Nigeria is so backwards." 1. I made this video myself on an international flight today. This flight was not heading from or to Nigeria. The instruction was clear: SWITCH OFF YOUR PHONE. In fact, it insists that before switching off your device, you must place it on flight mode and turn off connectivity. For ALL devices. The funny thing was that I met some Nigerians on this flight. Neither they nor the other international passengers complained about this instruction. EVERYBODY COMPLIED WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS, and nobody thought that it was backwards. 2. The boarding process experienced a hitch, and ALL passengers, regardless of the class of ticket, were forced to take a long trek and use an emergency staircase to access the avio bridge. While it was not ideal, nobody resorted to violence. The Asian in front of me muttered under his breath to his young son, "I will file a complaint when we arrive. Such inconvenience." I keenly observed every detail of this flight, not because anything was new to me, but because I had to ensure to document this for the sake of those who come here to spread misinformation. 3. Before I forget, my initial flight out of Nigeria a few days ago, the pilot said these words, "Switch off all mobile devices and your phones are not to be used for the duration of this flight." It was an almost 6-hour flight filled with Nigerians. I did not hear a word of protest. We flew 6 hours without using our phones. An international airline, one of those said to be more advanced while we label ourselves "backwards." Sure, the goal is to be among the world's best, not the worst. The message, however , to be patient with our own and comply with instructions when given, so long as they are in line with the regulations. Never allow people to gaslight you. We must get better, and we will.

“I Flew on the Same Plane Just Hours Before It Crashed” — Akash Vatsa’s Chilling Account of Air India Flight AI171 Akash Vatsa, a passenger who flew on Air India’s Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner from Delhi to Ahmedabad just two hours before the tragic crash of Flight AI171, shared a harrowing firsthand account of technical issues aboard the aircraft. Posting on X (formerly Twitter), he revealed multiple malfunctions during his earlier flight, including non-functional air conditioning, inoperative in-flight entertainment screens, unresponsive cabin crew call buttons, and faulty reading lights. Passengers were seen fanning themselves with magazines due to the lack of air conditioning. Akash recorded and shared videos highlighting these problems, intending to alert Air India, but later deleted his posts. His experience has raised serious questions as the same aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad en route to London Gatwick, killing many onboard. The crash occurred minutes after takeoff, with the plane reaching an altitude of approximately 825 feet before rapidly descending and crashing into a residential area near the airport. Investigations by aviation authorities are ongoing. Akash’s video and testimony provide a rare glimpse into potential pre-existing issues on the aircraft, adding a dramatic and personal dimension to the unfolding tragedy.

This is the moment angry passengers revolted on a Wizz Air flight after being stuck for almost two hours in 37.7C heat aboard a delayed plane on the runway. The woman told of how people were 'scrambling' and becoming 'dehydrated' as the video pans to rows of passengers using safety cards to fan themselves. The aircraft doors had been shut and the air-conditioning had not been turned on, according to the passenger. She said: 'I am a doctor, I work in emergency services and this is a hazard for life. 'The temperature is 37.7 degrees, with the doors shut and no air conditioning. 'People are scrambling, there are kids, and [people] are dehydrated.' Disgruntled passengers can be seen standing and demanding that the aircraft door be opened. The flight attendant can be heard telling the irate passenger: 'We are just waiting for the engine to start.'
