The incident, involving two Boeing 737 aircraft, has prompted investigations by the FAA and NTSB.

Alaska Airlines Flight 369, bound for Seattle, aborted takeoff at Nashville International Airport to avoid a potential collision with Southwest Airlines Flight 2029.
The Alaska Airlines jet, a Boeing 737 MAX 9, was traveling at approximately 120 mph when pilots applied the brakes, resulting in blown tires.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are investigating the incident, with both airlines cooperating.
No injuries were reported among the 176 passengers and six crew members on board the Alaska Airlines flight.
Recent near-miss incidents have heightened concerns about U.S. aviation safety, prompting calls for better technology and training for air traffic controllers.
