NEW: Southwest pilot forced to nosedive to avoid a midair collision after takeoff from Burbank to Las Vegas. Passengers were reportedly launched out of their seats into the ceiling, with passengers comparing the incident to the ‘Tower of Terror’ ride. “About 10 minutes into the flight, we plummeted pretty far, and I looked around, and everyone was like, 'OK, that's normal',” one passenger said. “Then, within two seconds, it felt like the ride Tower of Terror, where we fell 20 to 30 feet in the air. The screaming, it was terrifying. We really thought we were plummeting to a plane crash.” After the incident, the pilot allegedly told the passengers that the plane almost collided with another plane, “and they had lost air traffic control signal.” (Fox News) At least one flight attendant was injured.
