NEAR DISASTER | Multiple planes Cross Runway WHILE ANOTHER IS TAKING OFF!

I hate when they use a different frequency/controller to clear traffic across an active.  It’s pretty common though.   That was a big screwup.
Most people have no idea how complex and dynamic the taxiing is at busy airports.  Typically, it’s the hardest part of the flight.

You do have to make it a whole ten seconds into the video to learn that.

I got lost at Phoenix sky harbor at night with a student one time. That was fun.

I learned in airspace with a lot of .mil traffic.  You cannot hear their calls.

Not ideal.  

I have seen some T-34s waaaaaay too close.

Not exactly, but real close. Tenerife was a single runway and only one local controller disaster.

I spent nearly 33 years in ATC and I cannot believe WTF is happening in my former profession.

The fuck ups at KAUS and KSAN are chilling enough, and now this.

As I interpret the audio, it sounds like two different local controllers issuing crossing instructions to one runway. SMH...

I don't fly out of JFK often, but I have been in and out of there for many years. It is very challenging at times if you can't keep up with fast talking New Yorkers.

Here I am stuck on that same runway after a hydraulic system failure...

I can't imagine pushing the throttles to the TOGA setting on your fully loaded aircraft after being cleared for takeoff and seeing 3 planes start crossing the runway in front of you.

Sure was.  Even after the screwup, the controller cleared a guy to land while the rejected takeoff plane was still on the runway.

You push them up only about 30% then push TOGA button.   And you do kinda imagine it each time.   That’s why the Swiss pilot was so calm and collected.   He had been watching for it.   They rejected before 80 kts, IOW, they rejected almost immediately.  
Thank God they were in good visual conditions, it really coulda been bad if they weren’t.

Almost certainly Guessed Wrong.   Listen to the video.     Both controllers are good, they just screwed up somehow.    Probably a shift change and complacency.

That one hit close to home. That’s my base, and for a north flow we’ll ask for 4 to try and skip the line probably 75%-ish of the time.

Do you want your traffic to be really safe or really efficient? Pick one. Choose wisely.

Me too. I do my flight training out of a regional class D airport. It does get fairly busy at times. I’ve literally only heard two different voices on the radio. Those guys are seriously overworked in my opinion.

ASDE only alarms if the aircraft taking off is above a certain speed.

Several of the controllers at one of my past jobs (army base) were trying to jump ship and go to the FAA.   These guys were former controllers in the air force and had been civilians for a few years.   Only one of them got picked up.   All the others were told they weren't qualified.   The one that got hired was the only non white one.

Swiss handled the RTO well but sure seemed eager to get going again right after that. There ain't no way we'd be able to get back in the game that quickly. Not even if it was a low speed RTO. If it's a high speed, then we may very well be going back to the gate. If it's a high speed in a desirable location then there's a good chance we're going back to the hotel/home. Fuck this "get us back in line ASAP for a reduced runway length takeoff" shit. LOL.

"hydraulic system failure"



It's clear as day in the photo that you're driving the wrong way on the runway.

I was thinking that, but they must have aborted the moment the throttles went TOGA.     Do we know what speed they attained before rejecting?

Swiss CPT probably figured the intersection would give him better visibility down the runway!

Probably because it's the only thing pilots HAVE to do themselves...  the plane can do practically everything else on it's own if you let it.  But if they installed conveyor belts on the runways and taxiways to move the planes around for the pilots, the planes would never get off the ground.
