Air traffic control prevented a midair collision at LAX after an Air France plane allegedly made an unauthorized turn, bringing it within 400 feet of an American Airlines jet.
The incident happened just after midnight on Nov. 7, when the Air France flight turned without clearance and flew into the path of an American Airlines plane that had taken off from a parallel runway. Controllers issued a traffic alert and worked to redirect the flight, and the jets came within 400 feet of each other. The FAA will review the incident.
