Hainan Airlines flight narrowly avoided collision with light aircraft before Beijing tower crash Public flight-tracking data indicate a Hainan Airlines jet came close to a collision with a “rogue” light aircraft, shortly before that aircraft later crashed into Beijing’s tallest skyscraper. The incident underscores continuing risks from uncontrolled or improperly separated low-altitude traffic near dense airspace.
