NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — We’re getting a better picture of what happened as two planes nearly collided on the BNA ramp Thursday morning.

Listen to the audio in the player above.

Air traffic control audio from LiveATC.net captured the moment the control tower confirmed the plane would abort takeoff, and the moment the plane returned to the gate after its tires blew out due to the sudden stop.

There were 176 passengers and six crew members on board.

No one was injured.

Remembering Eudora Boxley, a pioneering TV chef from the early days of WLAC

Forrest Sanders recently introduced us to a Nashville hero named Eudora Boxley. She was the first black woman to have a cooking show on TV in Nashville. Her grandson was beautiful as he described Eudora and how she raised him and how proud he and the family were of her impact, not only on WLAC, but on a city during the turbulent civil rights era. A woman who did extraordinary things at a time when history expected her not to.
