While flying over Hawaii, an American Airlines flight narrowly avoided colliding with a mountain peak in Honolulu. Flight AA298 avoided disaster on Wednesday at around 1 a.m. local time after departing from Honolulu International Airport.

An American Airlines flight departing Hawaii was hastily ordered to make an “expedited climb” to avoid crashing into mountainous terrain on Wednesday.

The Federal Aviation Administration says an air traffic controller’s instructions kept an American Airlines flight from hitting mountains near Honolulu International Airport in Hawaii.
