    HOLY CRAP! I just now witnessed two Southwest airplanes JUST miss eachother at LAX!!!

    I was sitting a few hundered yards away from the runway by my bank about to take off when I see this one Southwest plane come in for landing - problem was that it was going UP and not down.

    Next second I see ANOTHER Southwest plane COMING in for landing and it is JUST A 100 to 150 YARDS BELOW the first airplane!!!!!!! These fuckers had been cleared for landing at the SAME EXACT TIME and at the SAME RUNWAY!

    It was like it was slow motion, the first plane that was above the other one had its engines FULL THROTTLE to avoid the second plane. UNBELIEVABLE! And I had a camera (phone) and forgot to take a fucking picture.

    I wonder if this hits the news or if it is "hushed" away... My god, that was HAIRY!!!

          I've heard there are a ton of NEAR misses on a very regular basis.

          That's definitely the one job I could never do...Air Traffic Controller.

                          Don't be a pussy, you would probably walk away alive and can sue for a huge amount of money.

                                                                                                                                                                  Yeah but if you scroll out 40 miles you're now talking about including alot more than just LAX and the transit traffic -- you've got Burbank, Ontario, Long Beach, John Wayne (OC), as well as LAX, and that's just for the larger airports -- there's also Van Nuys, Santa Monica, Torrance etc in there as well.

                                                                                                                                                                  The number of actual arrivals and departures to LAX isn't that many of the planes on the map proportionately. I'm not saying it's an easy job at all, just that the map is a bit confusing when you figure that you've got about 35,000 feet of vertical room to sort out the ones just flying by but not landing or taking off...
