(WCBSTV🙂 There was another near mid-air collision at Newark Liberty Airport Wednesday, forcing the FAA to call an emergency meeting on the matter.

For the second time in two months two planes barely missed each other in the sky. This morning officials are trying to determine what is happening at the airport. The FAA is stepping in to investigate and try to get to the bottom of it so it doesn’t happen again.

For hundreds of passengers on board Continental Flight 536 from Phoenix and Continental Express Flight 26-14 from Halifax, it was a close call and a frightening afternoon. As the planes came in for landings on Wednesday, the space between them became very narrow, narrow to the point that there was only 600 feet between the two.
