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!!!
