Southwest Airlines passengers were shaken when their plane suddenly dropped to avoid a collision. Flight 1496 had been flying for about six minutes after departing Hollywood Burbank Airport in California en route to Las Vegas when it descended several hundred feet within seconds to avoid a midair crash on July 25.

The Southwest Boeing 737 departed just before noon local time on Friday for a scheduled flight to Las Vegas. Six minutes after takeoff, a privately owned Hawker Hunter fighter jet crossed less than two miles in front of the Southwest plane, passing within a few hundred feet of the same altitude, according to flight tracking site Flightradar24.

Alarms sounded in the cockpit of a Southwest Airlines jet shortly after taking off from Hollywood Burbank airport near Los Angeles on Friday, prompting evasive maneuvers, the airline said in a statement.
