AURORA, Ill. — A cockpit safety device is credited with
helping pilots avoid a mid-air collision at 25,000 feet over
Indiana.

According to a preliminary investigation by the Federal
Aviation Administration, the planes came within seconds of
colliding because of an error by an air traffic controller.

FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory says the Tuesday
evening incident happened amid a shift change during a busy
time at the Chicago Center radar facility in Aurora.

Officials say that controller directed a Midwest Airlines
plane flying east from Milwaukee into the path of a United
Express jet heading west out of Greensboro, North Carolina.

The collision-avoidance device in the Midwest plane went off
in the Fort Wayne area, and an airline spokeswoman says the
pilots executed an emergency climb to get out of the way.

Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock

As the FAA continues to lose controllers and technicians
while expanding civil rights staffs and "Kisses the Black
Ass"...The big one comes just a little closer

Just a matter of time folks before bodies rain from the sky

FAA CIVIL RIGHTS SCAM
