The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the flight of an EVA Air Boeing 777 that headed the wrong way after departing Los Angeles International Airport last month and narrowly missed crashing into Mt. Holloway said the investigation will determine whether there are safety problems that need to be addressed. When the controller realized the EVA flight had turned in the wrong direction, FAA officials said, she took immediate action to keep the EVA Air and Air Canada flights safely separated. However, broadcast towers along the summit rise anywhere from several hundred feet to almost 1,000 feet in the air. EVA officials have said the airline is cooperating with federal investigators and that their passenger jet was never too close to the mountains or other aircraft.
