LOS ANGELES (AP) - A taxiing passenger jet and a departing airliner had a close call at Los Angeles International Airport during the weekend.
The Daily Breeze of Torrance reports on its Web site Monday that Midwest Express Flight 1503 landed at 2:20 p.m. Sunday and turned onto a taxiway but failed to follow orders to stop at that point.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor says the jet went beyond a hold point 200 feet from the edge of the next runway where Northwest Airlines Flight 623 was taking off.
Gregor says a controller alerted the Midwest Express jet to stop.
Gregor says the jets were within 100 feet but the exact distance
is still being determined.
