Military-Civilian Near Misses

Linda talks with Matthew Wald, a Washington correspondent for the New York Times, about today's near-miss between four F-16 fighter jets and a commuter aircraft. This incident comes on the heels of yesterday's similar problem off the New Jersey coast in which two F-16 jets swooped in on a civilian passenger flight. Investigators are now concerned with who should take the blame for these near-tragedies.
