Comic Jimmy Dore was on the flight and he says the pilot got here on the PA system and advised passengers his collision warning alert went off and he wanted to keep away from a aircraft coming at them.
Southwest Airways tells TMZ … the crew “responded to two onboard traffic alerts Friday afternoon while climbing out of Burbank … requiring them to climb and descend to comply with the alerts.”
The airline says they’re working with the FAA to determine what the hell occurred.
Southwest provides … “No injuries were immediately reported by Customers, but two Flight Attendants are being treated for injuries.”
We have seen some lethal aircraft crashes not too long ago world wide … and it seems like these people bought fortunate on their solution to Vegas.
