The pilot of the Boeing 727 followed safety procedures and went first into a steep dive, then a sharp climb, jostling the 84 people aboard. At least one of the F-16s stayed reportedly within 400 feet of the plane. Air traffic controllers could not help, because the aircrafts' radar blips had merged on their screens.
