NTSB Team Investigating LaGuardia Near-Miss Delayed by Airport Security Lines
The National Transportation Safety Board dispatched a team to investigate a serious runway incursion at New York's LaGuardia Airport. The incident involved a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 that was cleared for takeoff and an American Eagle Embraer E175 cleared to cross the same runway. Air traffic controllers intervened just in time to prevent a potential collision. In a strange twist, the NTSB investigators flying from Washington Reagan National Airport were significantly delayed. The federal team found themselves stuck for an extended period in long Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screening lines, slowing the start of their on-site investigation.
