Cessna, American Airlines 737 have mid-air close call; FAA investigating

The FAA is now investigating a previously unreported close call over the skies of Austin, Texas. An American Airlines 737 and a Cessna 182 came within approximately 350 feet of each other near the Austin airport Wednesday morning.

"Did you ever see him the second time around?" an air traffic controller can be heard asking the pilots of American Flight 2587 on air traffic control audio.

One of the pilots answered, "We saw him when he flashed us and flew right into us."
