A US-bound Delta flight with at least 150 people onboard was forced to hit the brakes during takeoff in Mexico this week when another jet nearly landed on top of it.
Delta Flight 590 had just started rolling down the runway at Aeropuerto Internacional Benito Juárez in Mexico City on Monday when the regional AeroMéxico plane suddenly flew overhead and landed in front of it, Flightradar 24 data showed.
The regional jet came within less than 200 feet of the Atlanta-bound Delta flight, CNN reported.

Sounds like AeroMexico tried to turn the Delta jet into a taco shell. A Runway Taco.

A colleague was killed in the 1991 crash at LAX when a United Airlines 737 landed on top of a Skywest turboprop on the runway.

That was a (tragic) tower controller error, IIRC.

The AeroMexico pilot will need to write down a phone number from the tower—for a diving job at Casa Bonita.
