NTSB investigating close call between planes at Reagan National Airport

The National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration are investigating a close call between two planes last week at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Virginia, the latest in a string of similar such incidents on U.S. airport runways this year.

On March 7, at around 8:30 a.m. EST, a Republic Airways Flight 4736 — operating as American Eagle Flight No. 4736 and bound for Raleigh, North Carolina — taxied across a runway that a United Airlines Flight No. 2003, an Airbus A319 bound for Chicago, had just been cleared to take off from, the NTSB told CBS News.
