FAA investigating close call at Chicago's Midway Airport

CHICAGO (AP) — Two passenger jets began to take off at the same time on intersecting runways at Chicago's Midway International Airport, prompting a controller to shout over the radio for one of the pilots to halt to avoid a collision, aviation officials said Wednesday. The Federal Aviation Administration was investigating Tuesday night's near miss in which each plane stopped about 2,000 feet from the runway intersection. [...] an air traffic controller saw Delta Air Lines Flight 1328 to Atlanta beginning to take off on the intersecting runway without proper clearance, the FAA said.
