FAA Investigates Southwest Flight's Alarming Low Descent Over Oklahoma

Southwest Airlines Flight 4069 descended to just 525 feet above a residential area, triggering an altitude alert and resident concerns.

The incident occurred around midnight as the plane approached Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City.
Flight 4069, a Boeing 737-800 from Las Vegas, was nine miles from the airport when it triggered the Minimum Safe Altitude Warning.
Air traffic control alerted the crew, who then regained altitude and landed safely on a different runway.
Residents reported being startled by the low-flying plane, with some fearing it might crash into their homes.
This is the second recent low-altitude incident involving Southwest, following a similar event over the Pacific Ocean in April.
