United - nesten midair ved EWR

[SQ 777]

Mye på CNN USA i dag. En UA 737 og en mindre Express passerte kun 50 meter fra hverandre under takeoff EWR forrige måned på kryssende runway. De gjetter på feil fra tårnet.

I tillegg måtte en 757 fra UA dykke ned raskt for å unngå front mot front over Stillehavet . Antar det var i forbindelse med Hawaii flight. Fikk ikke med meg hvilket selskap det andre flyet var og når dette skulle ha skjedd.

US Airways var det andre flyet. Jeg leste en bloggpost fra en av UA-passasjerene som var frustrert i dagene etter incident pga det han mente var manglende vilje til å etterforske.

Skjedde visst 200 mi nord for Kona.

Federal agencies are reportedly looking into what caused two passenger aircraft to nearly collide over Hawaii on April 25, with the FAA saying a United Airlines Boeing 757 took evasive action to avoid a U.S. Airways Boeing 757 about 200 miles northeast of Kona

I was weightless. We all were. Thirty-three thousand feet up in a cloudless sky, our plane had suddenly pitched into a steep dive. I felt my body float upwards and strain against my seatbelt. Passengers around me screamed. There was a loud crash in the back — a coffeepot clattering to the floor and tumbling down the aisle. Our tray tables began rattling in unison as the 757 strained through the kind of maneuver meant more for a fighter jet. Top Gun this was not, though. Our flight that Friday, April 25th, was mostly heavy-set tourists returning to California from Hawaii. More Tommy Bahama than Tom Cruise.

NYCaviation prøver å avdramatisere denne beretningen noe.

Jeg kom nettopp selv fra Hilo på Hawaii og det var mye snakk om dette enda.
Takk og pris at det endte godt!
