Near-Miss at Reagan National Airport Triggers FAA Probe

An American Airlines flight at Reagan National Airport had to abort its takeoff to avoid a collision with a private jet landing on an intersecting runway. This incident, the second near miss at the airport in six weeks, has raised concerns about the safety implications of increasing the number of flights at the already busy airport. The FAA is investigating the incident and emphasized that serious runway incursions are rare and that aviation remains the safest mode of travel.
