In a recent incident, an American Airlines flight departing from Honolulu was forced to make an expedited climb to avoid a collision with the mountainous terrain shortly after takeoff. The pilots received instructions to ascend rapidly, successfully bypassing a potential crash with a nearby mountain. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is currently investigating the event, which has raised alarms about aviation safety in the region, especially following multiple close calls involving other flights. Reports indicate that this situation is part of a troubling trend impacting air travel in Hawaii, with several near-misses recorded recently. The quick response from the flight crew is credited with preventing a disaster.
