A Close Call for Provincial Airlines Flight to Labrador

A Provincial Airlines flight out of St Johns enroute to Deer Lake then Wabush was on the same path in the opposite direction. An on-board collision avoidance system sounded an alarm and the PAL pilot dropped the plane. It was a neccessary move but it was a scary experience for the passengers. One of them was Johanna Hibbs and she spoke with CBC reporter Jeremy Eaton
