An Allegiant Air flight attendant was injured on Sunday when the plane’s pilot “took evasive action” to avoid an in-air collision over South Florida, the Federal Aviation Administration said
After the Kentucky-bound Flight 485 had taken off from Florida’s Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, the pilot “received an automated alert about another aircraft at the same altitude,” the FAA said. An air traffic controller in the Miami Air Route Traffic Control Center had instructed the plane “to turn eastbound at an altitude of 23,000 feet when it crossed in front of a northbound Gulfstream business jet,” the FAA said.
“It truly felt like a roller coaster,” Thacker, who was trying to flying home with family to Kentucky, said. “We went up and down and then leveled out.” “It felt like we were nose diving, but we later found out that we went straight up. … I was terrified.” Two flight attendants fell backwards when the plane ascended, one of whom stayed on the ground for five minutes before she was helped up and escorted to the rear of the plane, Thacker said.
