Delta Plane Narrowly Avoids Mid-Air Collision With Jet

Police dash camera captures a near tragedy in the sky. A Delta plane taking off from Syracuse, New York, came dangerously close to an American Eagle jet that took off first. They came between 700 and 1,000 feet from each other. In a statement, the Federal Aviation Administration says, "An air traffic controller instructed [the American Eagle flight] to go around at Syracuse Hancock International Airport to keep it safely separated from an aircraft that was departing on the same runway."
