Austin airport to get new safety system after several near-misses | FOX 7 Austin
SUMMARY: On February 14, 2023, a near-miss incident at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport involved a Southwest flight cleared for takeoff and a FedEx cargo plane landing on the same runway. The aircraft missed each other by about 70 feet, highlighting an aviation safety crisis. This event was discussed during the drafting of the bipartisan-supported FAA Reauthorization Act. The legislation, authorizing over $15 billion for the FAA and $738 million for the NTSB through 2028, prioritizes aviation safety. It includes funding for hiring air traffic controllers and technical engineers, grants for airport improvements, and advanced runway safety equipment set for installation in July.
New aviation safety systems are coming to Austin-Bergstrom following the passage of a new federal law. This also comes after several near-collisions on runways in Austin.

Hurricane Beryl Update: Latest on storm’s path
SUMMARY: Barrel's eyewall is closely brushing the south coast of Jamaica but is not expected to make landfall as it parallels the coastline. Winds are at 140 mph, cementing its status as a Category 4 hurricane. Moving West-Northwest at 20 mph, Barrel will pass south of the Cayman Islands with strong tropical storm force winds. It's projected to weaken to a Category 2 before making landfall on the Yucatan Peninsula early Friday. After crossing the Yucatan, it may regain Category 1 strength in the Gulf of Mexico. There remains uncertainty if it will impact northern Mexico or the South Texas coast, particularly around Brownsville or Corpus Christi, by the weekend.
Hurricane Beryl is moving near Jamaica before heading west towards Mexico and possibly Texas. FOX 4's Dan Henry is tracking the storm.
