Investigators on both sides of the border are looking into a close call involving an Air Canada flight at San Francisco International Airport.

For some reason, the flight from Toronto nearly landed on a crowded taxiway, instead of a runway, the two run side by side.

This happened just before midnight on Friday. The Federal Aviation Administration in the U.S. and Air Canada are both investigating. They will be looking into the distance between the Air Canada aircraft and the jets lined up on the taxiway.

Air Canada said 135 passengers and five crew members were on the plane when this happened.

Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum President and CEO Dave Rohrer joined us in studio to talk more about this situation.
