Southwest Plane
Shocking Near-Miss on Runway!!!
Caught on Camera

The aviation experience just got a little scarier, if that was even possible — a major tragedy was narrowly averted this morning on a runway in Chicago.
Hold on to your seats — terrifying footage shows a Southwest Airlines jet plane aborting its landing at Midway Airport Tuesday morning, when a Challenger 350 private jet on the runway taxied into its path seconds before what would’ve been a devastating collision.
As you can see, the Southwest Airlines plane nearly touched down on the runway before its quick-thinking pilot pulled off a heroic move, yanking the plane back up into the air for an emergency go-around — just a few hundred yards away from the private jet.
The pilot’s actions straight-up saved lives, and the plane, arriving from Nebraska, later landed safe and sound … with Southwest confirming the crew followed safety protocols, and everything ended without a hitch.
The details are still murky about the Tennessee-bound private jet — whether they saw the plane coming in, and the number of people onboard. The FAA is launching an investigation into the incident.
No doubt, it’s rattled a lot of folks, especially with the recent string of aviation nightmares — a plane flipping upside down, a cabin filled with smoke mid-flight, and a helicopter colliding with a plane over Washington, D.C., killing everyone onboard.
