[@PiikachUwU_OSRS]

@@billbuffington3037 180 knots is 3 miles a minute, yes. Provided that an aircraft rolls immediately when told to be ready immediate, they should be airborne in 40seconds or less, and as long as the departing aircraft is airborne by the time the landing aircraft crosses the threshold, all goodski. Landing aircraft can also be told "continue approach" instead of getting a landing clearance until such time as a landing clearance is reasonably assured. An ATC would have a plan in place for what happens when an aircraft doesn't roll immediately, and that could be (for example) to cancel takeoff clearance and send the landing aircraft around, or it could be to continue the departure and still issue the go around, applying visual separation and turning when able. All of this is IRRELEVANT when it's fog and Cat-III ILS conditions, and the departing aircraft should NOT have been where he was.

I was driving to work in Austin toward the airport at the time this was unfolding between 06:40 and 07:00am. Although I didn’t see the aircraft involved, it was still dark with considerable fog. This video depicts a bright sunny day which this was not. The FedEx pilot is the hero for having the situational awareness and avoided the accident at the last second. Although the video does show how close the two planes were which is probably close to accurate, it does mislead how and why it happened. The FedEx plane was in an auto land approach because of the low visibility and ATC cleared the the SWA plane to take off with the FedEx plane only 3 miles out on final with auto land.

That's crazy and every time I flied in the past, I always think about stuff like that but just pray that God would make the flight safe for everyone on board.

[@AyeCarumba221]

This makes no sense. Crashes will happen. People will die. Why would “God” make one plane safe, and another crash? What good will your praying do? Why would god change their mind?

[@brittrugg2676]

God doesn’t exist. Was god there when TWA 800 Blew up? Was god there during the Tenerife disaster? Nice sentiment but it’s stupid

This is insane! Thank God someone was actually thinking and aboarded the landing.

[@susiemalphurs5212]

I got goosebumps! So glad they didn't crash.

[@garethquinn2518]

I love how real FS looks!

[@county365]

Given that the tower was advised by fedex that it was a CATIII approach & subsequently cleared to land, Southwest should have been held short & no clearance given. It was fortunate that the Fedex crew had situational awareness & was able to avert a major crash.

Southwest seem to be the irresponsable ones. I've seen a very similar incident with them and Air Canada lending that time.

[@tiffanypersaud3518]

So glad when I saw the landing gear doors open. Tower “SW abort!” SW: “Eh? Whassa?”

[@tenpiloto]

That happened in very low visibility--not as this depicted. It was egregious pooch abuse by the tower controller.

Kudos to the FedEx pilots

[@drewwho4512]

Not only did the ATC seem to screw up, but Southwest was told to abort its take-off and didn't. 3 mile final? I don't think so.

[@lianzerafa2739]

Southwest was past V1. They were committed, no choice.

[@lrc87290]

Actually I think it was the other pilot telling him to abort landing. Someone who knows please confirm.

[@aadeshsenthilkumar]

@@lrc87290 Yes it was the fedex telling southwest to abort.

[@jeremylevin2470]

Too late to abort. FedEx told WN to abort, not ATC.

[@rdspam]

FedEx said “Southwest abort”. This isn’t a call-signed command from ATC. Pilots don’t follow 3rd party non-specific chatter in controlled airspace.

@74gear did a great explanation of the events. ATC made a teeny boo-boo and this proves everyone has to work together as nothing is human proof.

Good thing Fedex has a very good pilot. Notice he immediately lift back his landing gears to accomodate more clearance and ready to change flight direction 👍

[@shamoy1000]

I actually witnessed this scenario at MKE. The plane on approach gave it maximum throttle so much so it sounded like a squadron of fighters taking off. Thankfully the plane that entered the runway didn't try to out run the approaching plane.

[@davidgivens9381]

They can't the throttle is pre set at what they need for take off it's not like they can floor board it and get out of the way.

[@shamoy1000]

@@davidgivens9381 The plane in question was the plane attempting to land. It was on it's approach above the runway when it throttled back up. I wasn't sure what was going on until the nightly news reported the incident.
