Human error gets people killed. We need robot ATC’s.

article>"The collision was averted when an air controller noticed the two."

Whew! Thank God his cell phone's battery was dead.

That was close. How many people on the 777? Memories of Canaries 1977. That was a bad one.

These busier airports need gates for taxiways that cross runways... and no, I'm not kidding.

As the aviation industry reaches deeper into the barrel for talent, there are going to be more incidents like this.

I would also not be surprised to see certain airports that won't let green pilots taxi but instead have the ground tugs take them all the way to the terminal or the runway.

Here’s a phrase that apparently the airlines simply made up: near miss. They say that if 2 planes almost collide, it’s a near miss. Bullsh.., my friend. It’s a near hit! A collision is a near miss.
[WHAM! CRUNCH!]
“Look, they nearly missed!”
“Yes, but not quite.

If one of the planes went off the runway into the water they could’ve changed the name of the airport from JFK to Ted Kennedy.

The control tower was heard screaming, “NO, THE OTHER RIGHT!” to the new affirmative action pilot.

I would think that every airport and every airplane would have gps and all positions plotted exactly on a map by now.
Someone is blocking this from happening like the airlines and the gov’t.

The part that confuses me is the tower only saying that take of clearance is canceled. Does that automatically mean that the pilot should use all means to stop immediately. Why not say something like “Urgent-Stop Hard”.

My guess is that the Delta Pilot had already seen this coming and had already slammed on the brakes at about the same time their clearance was canceled. It is hard to believe they would not see other plane crossing in front of them.

I was going to say that air travel is safe and effective.
But these planes had not left the ground .... 🤔
