OBERLIN, Ohio — Two airplanes with more than 100 passengers
averted a collision in air east of Pittsburgh after an Ohio
air traffic control trainee told a Delta Air Lines pilot to
turn into the path of an oncoming plane, officials said.

The controller only had about a year on the job, said
Melissa Ott, National Air Traffic Controllers spokeswoman at
the Cleveland Air Route Traffic Control Center in Oberlin.
"We watched the recording of the incident three times and
each time I said, 'Oh my God,"' Ott said. "It was the
closest call I have ever seen in my 18 years of air traffic
control."
A Delta spokeswoman said the passengers were never in danger.
