Audio captures near miss as Delta, American jets come within 300 feet

Air traffic control audio from Boston’s Logan International Airport captured a tense moment over the weekend as two passenger jets came within an estimated 300 feet of each other, adding to growing concerns about aviation safety and a string of recent close calls nationwide.

In the recording, a Delta pilot can be heard saying, “Delta 3, uh, 2351 going around because of American.” A tower controller then asks, “American 3161 where you going?” The American Airlines pilot responds, “You cleared us for take off 3161!”

The incident came as lawmakers held a Senate hearing examining near misses around the country. Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., warned that even when close calls do not end in tragedy, they still highlight vulnerabilities in the system.
