More airplane near misses cause concern for passengers, FAA

There was a close call between two jets at Boston’s Logan Airport on Monday night, but fortunately, one of the pilots managed to change course. This is just the latest in a string of near-misses at American airports in recent weeks, causing concern among passengers and pilots, and drawing a response from the Federal Aviation Administration.
