A commercial airline passenger managed to record her terrified reaction moments after the pilot announced he was trying to avoid a mid-air collision with a private jet at 23,000 feet over Orlando, FL. The Allegiant flight 485 was headed from Ft. Lauderdale to Lexington, KY, Sunday when the pilot announced he was taking evasive action to miss another plane that was in his path. “But when he came on the intercom and let us know that we were actually trying to miss the other airplane, it was like it intensified all that fear that happened. Thacker said the woman hit her head and lay on the cabin floor for several minutes before she was able to be moved to the back of the plane. On the recording, Thacker can be seen giving a relieved thumbs up to signal the end of the terrifying ordeal.
