## Resource

Logan Airport faced two惊险近距飞行事件 over the weekend, sparking safety concerns and congressional scrutiny. On Saturday, a Delta jet nearly collided with an American Airlines plane still taxiing on the runway — just 900 feet apart — with experts blaming air traffic control confusion. Sunday saw another Delta flight abort takeoff after a runway conflict, labeled a “standard go-around” by the FAA but fueling public unease. Despite Logan’s century-old layout and urban constraints, experts say these incidents don’t signal systemic safety failures — yet. One former controller called Saturday’s near-miss “pretty bad,” and another consultant credited divine intervention for avoiding disaster. The FAA and NTSB are investigating Saturday’s event, with lawmakers pushing to include Sunday’s too. While Logan ranks among the busiest airports with a history of runway incursions, aviation experts note such events are rare given the volume — but safety advocates insist even one is one too many.
