If Mirsad “Mike” Causevic is successful, a 12-foot-tall statue on the Northwest Side will honor 3,176 people killed in his former homeland in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Within the span of 90 minutes on Tuesday morning, two airplanes, at Washington’s Ronald Reagan National Airport and at Chicago’s Midway International Airport, were forced to abort landings to avoid collisions, federal aviation officials said.

The near misses on Tuesday came after a string of aviation disasters, including the midair collision between an Army helicopter and a passenger jet last month that killed 67 people.
