A Southwest Airline aircraft heading to Las Vegas (LAS) from Southern California (BUR) took a dramatic plunge of about XXX feet shortly after takeoff in response to an alert about a nearby plane Friday, injuring two flight attendants.

As per passengers, the Southwest Airlines flight had to "dive aggressively" in order to avoid a midair collision over Burbank.

The Federal Aviation Administration said the flight, Southwest 1496, was responding to an onboard alert about another aircraft in its vicinity. The FAA is investigating. 

Southwest said the crew responded to two alerts that required the pilot to climb then descend. The flight operated by registration N249WN departed from Hollywood Burbank Airport just before noon.
