Another near miss.

"A Southwest Airlines plane and a private business jet narrowly avoided a collision at Chicago's Midway Airport on Tuesday morning, CBS News has confirmed.

Video shows Southwest flight 2504 from Omaha coming in for a landing at the airport, then quickly aborting to avoid a potential collision with the business jet that was taxiing across the runway. The Southwest flight was just inches from the ground when the pilots throttled up and climbed skyward to avoid the business jet. Seconds later, the Southwest plane flew over the business jet at an approximate altitude of 250 feet, according to preliminary flight data. "

Damn. What the heck is going on.

This kinda implies that the business jet was at fault?

"We are aware of the occurrence today in Chicago. Flexjet adheres to the highest safety standards and we are conducting a thorough investigation," a Flexjet spokesperson told CBS News. "Any action to rectify and ensure the highest safety standards will be taken."

Any news of what was being said in the tower at that time?

The private jet was told to cross one runway and to hold at the next. The pilot repeated the instructions back incorrectly. The tower corrected them and they repeated the instructions back correctly.

Kudos to The Southwest pilot.

That's what I was thinking. That's some good reaction time to nail it and pull back up.

I know for a fact you could hear a pin drop in that plane over all the squeaking and stuff.

I was flying into ONT one night. Santa Ana winds were doing their thing. On eastward approach (contra). We're flying over Pomona and the plane is bouncing all over the place. We come over the landing zone, flared, then all the sudden we're throttle up full power. Feels like we're going vertical but obviously not. Scary AF. We level off and the pilot comes over the intercom and tells us there was wind shear and rather than risk "an issue" we're going to go around and try again.
