Two aircraft almost collided on the same runway at Nashville International Airport (BNA), local federal authorities reported. 

On September 12, 2024, at about 09:15 local time, an Alaska Airlines service operated by a Boeing 737 MAX was getting ready to depart on flight AS369 to Seattle. The aircraft had already been cleared for take off by air traffic controllers. 

However, the pilots of the Alaska Airlines flight noticed a Southwest Airlines aircraft, which was scheduled to fly to Jacksonville, coming towards the same runway. The Boeing 737 MAX pilots quickly hit the brakes and stopped the aircraft. At that time, the aircraft was going about 120 miles per hour (around 193 kilometers per hour), according to flight tracking website Flightradar24.
