Trump's plane almost collided with the Spirit Airlines liner

An emergency almost occurred over Long Island: the civil aircraft Spirit Flight 1300 did not respond to the dispatcher and almost crossed the course of Air Force One, which was carrying US President Donald Trump. This was announced on September 17 by the Fox News channel.

"Spirit 1300, turn right immediately, right now," the source quoted the air traffic controller as saying.

Despite repeated warnings, the pilots did not get in touch for a long time.

Spirit Airlines said that the crew "acted according to standard procedures," and the delay in responding was explained by the need to focus on controlling the aircraft.

How opposing American parties can benefit from the tragedy

Earlier in the day, it was reported that Trump's Boeing 757 plane was spotted in the air a few miles from the civil Airbus SE A321 airliner operated by Spirit Airlines. An air traffic controller from New York noticed similar heights and flight paths. It was noted that he tried to warn the Spirit pilots to change course.
