JetBlue pilot's last-second maneuver prevents collision on Colorado runway
A new report from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) revealed that a pilot's last-second maneuver prevented a collision between two planes on the same runway at Yampa Valley Airport in Colorado. The incident occurred due to unclear communication between the two aircraft and the traffic control center. The report stated that the planes were approximately 2.2 miles apart when the incident took place. The JetBlue Airbus A320 incurred a tail strike during takeoff, resulting in substantial damage to the airplane. No injuries were reported, and the NTSB attributed the incident to poor communication.
