The Allegiant Air jet with 175 passengers on board was en route to Kentucky, then a automatic notification entered the cockpit. According to the warning, another plane was at the same altitude, CNN writes.
The pilot then decided to quickly turn the aircraft away. According to a passenger, it was ‘like a rollercoaster’.
The incident happened relatively shortly after takeoff, so most passengers still had their seatbelts on. A passenger told CNN that the two flight attendants who were serving drinks fell to the floor. One of them broke her wrist, the other was not injured.
The passenger plane flew back to the airport of departure, Fort Lauderdale, after the near miss. There was the wounded flight attendant treated for her injuries.
