A Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 was seconds from landing on top of another airplane at San Diego International Airport on June 10, 2021.
In this episode, Captain Steeeve breaks down the shocking near-miss involving Southwest Flight 1648 and SkyWest Flight 3371, where one aircraft was cleared to land while another was instructed to line up and wait on the same runway.
When the runway-incursion alert system triggered, air traffic control attempted to issue a go-around, but the transmission was blocked. With the SkyWest jet still on the runway and the Southwest 737 rapidly approaching, the pilots suddenly realized something wasn’t right.
This is a fascinating look at how aviation safety layers work together — and how quickly things can escalate when communication breaks down.
