NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — We're getting a better idea of what happened as two planes nearly hit each other on the tarmac at BNA 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 be aborting takeoff, and when the plane returned back toward the gate after its tires blew out from the sudden stop.

There were 176 passengers and six crew members on board.

No one was hurt.

A lesson in never giving up: Jack's story will have you believing dreams really can come true. It's so uplifting to hear those around him talk about his determination and then to see it rewarded. Not many teens would email coaches every week just to hear a 'no,' but Jack did. And eventually, it all pays off.
