!! The FAA announces there were two more recent close calls between a passenger jet and a helicopter. On Feb. 27, AA 1657 and a police helicopter nearly collided on Feb 27 at San Antonio International airport.

NTSB Chair @JenniferHomendy has warned, repeatedly, that a mid-air collision could happen at Burbank because of heavy airspace traffic.
