Planes simultaneously taking off on intersecting runways halted at Chicago's Midway Airport

2015-06-18 07:10:38| Airlines - Topix.net

Two passenger jets began to take off at the same time on intersecting runways at Chicago's Midway International Airport, prompting a controller to shout over the radio for one of the pilots to halt to avoid a collision, aviation officials said Wednesday. The Federal Aviation Administration was investigating Tuesday night's near miss in which each plane stopped about 2,000 feet from the runway intersection.
