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.

Thanks
Close call.
Thank God the pilot wasn’t a DEI hire.
Wondering about the Air Traffic Controller, though.
Wondering, too, who owns the Hawker.
I always wear my seatbelt
