A Southwest Airlines flight narrowly avoided a catastrophic collision at Chicago Midway International Airport on Tuesday.
Southwest Flight 2504 was on its final approach when a private jet, identified as LXJ560, unexpectedly crossed its designated runway, forcing the commercial aircraft to abort its landing just moments before touchdown.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reported that the Southwest flight, operating a Boeing 737, was descending towards Runway 31C when an unauthorized private jet, identified as a Flexjet aircraft, taxied across the same runway without clearance.
