"FAA Probes Close Call Between Southwest Airlines Jet and Control Tower"
The FAA is investigating a potential close call between a Southwest Airlines plane and an air traffic control tower at LaGuardia Airport in New York City after the plane veered off course during an attempted landing due to inclement weather. The incident occurred on March 23, and the flight was instructed to perform a go-around before diverting and landing in Baltimore. Southwest Airlines stated that the flight encountered turbulence and low visibility. The airline and the FAA are both reviewing the event as part of their safety systems, and it was revealed that another flight, JetBlue Flight 698, also had to abort its landing at LaGuardia due to wind shear.
