NTSB cites near misses as airfield collision risk rises
Washington safety officials warned of a growing threat of ground collisions at busy airports after a string of near misses. Fourteen incidents in three months show planes, including jumbo jets, required evasive action during takeoffs and landings, with a fatal Birmingham crash prompting renewed scrutiny. A Minneapolis incident saw two Northwest DC-10s pass within about 50 feet. Investigators noted similar near-misses at the same airport a week earlier with larger separations believed but still hazardous.
