WASHINGTON: Two flight attendants on a Southwest Airlines flight departing Burbank, California, were injured on Friday (Jul 25) after pilots took evasive action to dodge another aircraft on takeoff, the airline said.

Two flight attendants were injured on a flight from Burbank, Calif., to Las Vegas when the plane suddenly dove 475 feet to avoid another aircraft. The incident caused the on-board alarm to sound, resulting in a rapid descent.
