We're now at a point where two jet planes are 5 secs away from nearly crashing into each other and it's a local news story that doesn't prompt any raised eyebrows in Congress.

The story was reported by Italian media and was later picked up by the Los Angeles media when a local citizen YouTube creator called it to their attention.

When asked by the media for comment, Sean Duffy's FAA said they were unable to comment "because of the government shutdown".

This accident would have killed more than 500 people, if not for the quick response of the air traffic controllers. An accident of this size would have shut down LAX and snarled air traffic for days.

2 passenger jets barely avoid midair collision over busy airport

Two crowded passenger jets narrowly avoided a disastrous midair collision thanks to quick intervention from air traffic control.

The near-miss involved American Airlines flight 4 and Italian airline ITA Airways flight 621, according to information from FlightAware obtained by People.

Shortly after the ITA Airways flight took off from Los Angeles International Airport at 4:11 p.m. on October 31, it veered left and started flying in the path of the runway 25R, which American Airlines flight 4 was departing from.

"American 4, traffic - stop your altitude climb," an air traffic controller told the pilots of the American aircraft according to YouTube channel VASAviation. "American 4, traffic ahead and to your left, 1 mile."
