Cabin Crew Reveals What Really Happens When Flying

Can mid-air collisions happen?

Technically, yes, but it's almost impossible thanks to a voice command that sounds in the cockpit in the event that a plane is nearby. Commercial jets are equipped with systems that can detect other airplanes, mountains, and other large, solid debris that may be in its flight path. If the plane is within 10 miles of another plane, pilots are warned by a voice repeating, "Traffic, traffic, traffic!" If the traffic is within five miles, the voice instructs the pilot on where to go in order to avoid an accident.
