LAS VEGAS (AP) — Passengers aboard a Southwest Airline jet that took a dramatic plunge to avoid an oncoming aircraft were told by the pilot that they nearly struck another plane before landing safely in Las Vegas.

A Southwest flight out of Burbank rapidly descended 475 feet to avoid another plane on Friday, according to flight tracking data and passengers on the plane.
