Flying has become more dangerous now than ever with the growing rise of uncertainty linked to air traffic accidents.

Now, sources are speaking about how a Southwest flight tried to take off from Florida’s taxiway after a crew mistook it for the runway.

The plane was told to hold several times by the air traffic control when it was bizarrely trying to take off from the wrong location, leaving officials stunned at the action and the risk it was putting passengers into.

The potentially dangerous departure could have had some serious consequences as shared by one insider.

The flight was on the Florida taxiway at Orlando’s International Airpot at 9:30 when this ordeal arose at 9:30 am as they tried to depart for Albany.

Southwest Airlines explained how the crew mistook the surface for a nearby runway and no injuries were reported as a result of that.

Taxiways are usually only used by planes to get runways from gates and hangers. They are not designed for carrying out any kind of takeoff.

One air traffic controller at the Orlando International Airport canceled the takeoff clearance for the flight after the plane began to takeoff on the taxiway.

The taxiway is parallel to the runway and this flight was on its way to New York. No other aircraft were said to be involved as per the FAA who is currently investigating the matter.
