A Southwest Airlines jet flew just 150 feet above the Courtney Campbell Causeway earlier this month, prompting an FAA investigation.
A Southwest Airlines jet dramatically dropped to 150 feet above the water off the coast of Florida — and now authorities are investigating the dangerous plunge, federal officials said.
The plane skipped the Tampa airport, where it was scheduled to arrive — and instead landed about 200 miles away in Fort Lauderdale, according to Southwest Airlines. Meanwhile, the Dallas-based airline added that it is in contact with the FAA “to understand and address any irregularities.”Southwest has had several other flights in recent months that have raised safety concerns, including at least two other incidents involving planes appearing to fly at dangerously low altitudes.
