Two Southwest Airlines planes narrowly avoided a midair collision in Nashville on Saturday after an air traffic controller directed one pilot into the path of another. The conflict occurred as one aircraft aborted its landing and circled back while the other was taking off. Both pilots reported receiving automated collision avoidance system alarms, prompting one plane to climb and the other to dive to maintain separation. The incident follows a fatal January 2025 collision between a jet and a helicopter that killed 67 people. Read the full story at Fortune (subscription).
