Jimmy Dore was on that flight and tweeted this right after it happened

Just now on SW Flight #1496 Burbank to Las Vegas.

Pilot had to dive aggressively to avoid midair collision over Burbank airport.

Myself & Plenty of people flew out of their seats & bumped heads on ceiling, a flight attendant needed medical attention.

Pilot said his collision warning went off & he needed to avoid plane coming at us.

Wow.

Close call.

Thank God the pilot wasn’t a DEI hire.

Wondering about the Air Traffic Controller, though.

Wondering, too, who owns the Hawker.
