Southwest Boeing 737 plunges within 500 feet of Oklahoma neighborhood setting off emergency alarms and terrifying residents who feared it was going to crash into their homes [Video]

A Boeing 737 aircraft suddenly plummeted to less than 500 feet off the ground over Oklahoma, terrifying residents who feared the jet was going to crash.

Southwest Airlines Flight 4069 was nine miles away from Will Rogers World Airport just after midnight on Wednesday when records show the 737 dived to between 400 and 500 feet as it flew over a high school in the city of Yukon.

Doorbell camera footage showed the Boeing 737 MAX-8 then hovering above houses, before it flies out of frame. 

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the incident and SouthWest has confirmed they are working with them to address any ‘irregularities’. 

A resident was startled awake by the plane’s engine and wondered if the aircraft was set for a collision. 

‘It woke me up and I thought it was gonna hit my house,’ the resident wrote on the Yukon Happenings Facebook page, according to The Oklahoman.
