NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — We're getting a better idea of what happened as two planes nearly hit each other on the tarmac at BNA Thursday morning.
Listen to the audio in the player above.
Air Traffic Control audio from LiveATC.net captured the moment the control tower confirmed the plane would be aborting takeoff, and when the plane returned back toward the gate after its tires blew out from the sudden stop.
There were 176 passengers and six crew members on board.
No one was hurt.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
