NTSB Investigating Near-Collision At Bob Hope Airport

B737 And C172 Had A Close-Call During "Touch And Go"

The NTSB has opened an  investigation into the near collision of a commercial jetliner and a small private plane at the intersection of two active runways at Burbank's Bob Hope Airport (KBUR) in Southern California.

At about 1058 PDT on April 19, Southwest Airlines flight 649, a Boeing 737-700 (N473WN) inbound from Oakland, carrying 119 passengers and a crew of five was landing on runway 8 while a Cessna 172, in the departure phase of a "touch and go" on runway 15, passed over the 737. 

According to the Federal Aviation Administration, the airplanes came within 200 feet vertically and 10 feet laterally of each other at the runway intersection. No one was injured in the incident, which occurred under a clear sky with visibility of 10 miles.

NTSB investigator Betty Koschig, an air traffic control specialist based in Washington, traveled to Burbank Friday to begin the investigation.
