UPS Flight 382 Nearly Collides with Small Plane at MIA
February 28, 2008 – 11:25 amThe Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating a near miss at Miami International Airport (MIA) involving a UPS 757 and a small turbo prop. The planes came within 4,000 feet of each other in what could have been a head on collision. The news media may be guilty of sensationalizing this a little bit - 4,000 feet is only 1,280 feet short of a mile - which seems a reasonable distance for planes to be apart from each other on a runway.
