Allegiant Airlines plane and a private jet forced to take evasive action to avoid a collision at 23 thousand feet here's Tom Costello Allegiant Air 485 had just taken off from Fort Lauderdale headed for Lexington Kentucky when it happened the pilot forced to make a sudden extreme climb 600 feet in seconds to avoid another plane throwing flight attendants to the floor and terrifying passengers including Jerrica Thacker and her family flying to Kentucky after a Caribbean cruise it was honestly the scariest thing I've ever been through it felt like when you go on the top of a roller coaster and you go straight down from the highest point the FAA says it happened when controllers put the Allegiant flight and a Gulfstream Business Jet on intersecting routes both at 23 000 feet that's when both planes collision avoidance warnings known as tcas activated ordering the Allegiant pilot to immediately climb and The Gulfstream pilot to descend if not for TKS these airplanes would have gotten very very close or have potentially collided the FAA says an air traffic controller had instructed flight 4 85 to turn Eastbound at an altitude of 23 000 feet when it crossed in front of a Northbound Gulfstream Business Jet while none of the 175 passengers was injured one flight attendant was hurt Allegiant tells NBC News flight 485 returned to Fort Lauderdale where a flight attendant was treated for injuries but for Jerica Thacker it was all too much she and her family drove back to Kentucky I went 21 years without getting on an airplane and I think after this experience I can go the rest of my life without getting on one the FAA is looking into whether there was a breakdown of communication and coordination between controllers that led to this very close call Lester all right Tom

report from the CDC out of 1500 doctors surveyed 42 percent had never heard of alpha gal syndrome and 35 percent said they weren't confident of their ability to detect or treat it symptoms include hives itching abdominal pain vomiting and chest tightness the CDC says Alpha gal syndrome traditionally found in Mid-Atlantic States is spreading one hundred ten thousand suspected cases have been
