Midwest Airlines Jet in Near-Collision on Runway
LOS ANGELES - The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a near-collision involving a Midwest jet on a runway at Los Angeles International Airport.
The Midwest jet, flight 1503 from Milwaukee, had landed at LAX and was taxing toward a runway on which a Northwest Airlines aircraft was taking off.
A witness tells the Los Angeles Times the two planes passed within 15 feet of each other.
The flight from Milwaukee was supposed to stop 200 feet from the edge of the parallel runway, but kept on going.
An air traffic controller saw what was happening and ordered the aircraft to stop.
