Midair Collision narrowly avoided by 12 seconds at KDCA.
Poor coordination of a change in the active runway led to a plane approaching the airport for landing while 2 planes were taking off and heading towards the landing plane. By the time the controller figured it out, the planes were hurtling at each other at more than 400 knots and were 12 seconds away from a major disaster.

I think this should be removed, from the statement the FAA issued yesterday these three planes were never on a collision course.
In Baton Rouge, we have a high volume of private craft and sometimes the commuter craft find someone on the runway during approach. Just the way it is.
For what its worth, FAA on this morning's news stated the planes were never on a collision course, merely below separation requirements.
That seems to be the update. That airport is a mess for ATC because of the restrictions necessary to operate it. I am going to wait for the investigation on this one, as we should on all such instances.
ATC screw-up. Heads will roll.

3 jets avoid midair collision at D.C. airport
Tuesday afternoon, air-traffic controllers cleared two outbound US Airways flights to take off into the path of another US Airways flight that was about to land, according to a Washington Post report. The inbound plane and the first of the outbound planes were closing the 1.4 miles between them at a combined speed of 436 mph, a rate that meant they were about 12 seconds from impact.
