Those of you who have been reading my take of air travel know Iām not a big fan.
My fellow pattern-recognitioners are also probably not a big fan either.
We can clearly see that there is an agenda to sabotage flights. Either by hiring incompetent pilots and/or sabotaging the planes themselves.
But this time we have a different tale from above, only this time the plane drops nearly 500 ft. to avoid a collision.
Was someone not on the lookout?
Southwest Airlines passengers report sudden drop after departure from Burbank to Las Vegas https://t.co/fqQOdgvpHd

Local ABC News reports on this:
Passengers aboard a Southwest flight out of Burbank described frightening moments when the plane rapidly descended shortly after takeoff to avoid a mid-air collision Friday.
About six minutes after Southwest flight 1496 took off from Hollywood Burbank Airport headed to Las Vegas, it abruptly descended 475 feet ā from 14,100 feet to 13,625 feet, according to flightRadar24.
An Eyewitness News viewer from Woodland Hills who was on that flight reached out to ABC7 as soon as the plane landed safely in Vegas. He said the pilot told him there was a collision avoidance alert and thatās what caused the drop.
The other plane, a Hawker Hunter with the N number N335AX, was at an altitude of approximately 14,653 feet when the Southwest flight began to descend.
When a planeās collision avoidance system detects a possible collision, the plane will either go down or up and the other plane will do the opposite. Preliminary data shows the planes were several miles apart when the pilots received their alerts.
Near collisions in the air should never happen if people are doing their job.

In this post you can see thereās a lot of air traffic going on. But still, this shouldnāt have happened.
