Special thanks to Paul Westwood for his support on Paypal to keep this channel going. Video reconstruction of a heart stopping incident that happened in Boston Intl in 2005 between 2 big airliners, that could have been catastrophic.

US Airways has been credited with a number of saves. This one, the Rhode Island incident and the Hudson River.

An aerial view and an indication of the two runways being accessed would be helpful. As well, a show of the speed that they were advancing towards the intersection.

Hella lucky the us airways pilots were paying attention to the intersecting runway at V1 when the pilot monitoring is usually on the instruments…

Imagine if the Aer Lingus pilots, seeing the US Airways jet coming toward the intersection, also decided to 'stay down.' They would have had a ground collision. That both sets of pilots chose different courses of action is sheer serendipity. The shamrock on the Airbus's tail fin did its job.

I *think* Aer Lingus was already airborne which is why the US Airways pilot elected to stay down.

Excellent graphics as usual . Well done US Airways . As for Aer Lingus it would seem a very good idea to name their planes after saints . On a wing and a prayer !

I was on a TWA 707 at San Francisco Airport June 1975. The plane had just started the take-off roll when the pilot brought the plane to stop. Another jet flew over us, the sound was rather loud. After a short delay the pilot after making a comment to the passengers safely took-off.

What a close shave.Luckily the US Airways pilots avoided rotation at the same moment as the Aer Lingus jet and yet had just enough runway lenght left to take off successfully.Scary near miss.!.

Usual problem, ATC under far to much pressure, aviation industry squeezes every last drop out of everybody. It’s disgusting.

@marcmcreynolds2827 5 ай бұрын

FWIW once US Airways had crossed the intersection and achieved VR, they were good to go. Delaying liftoff until almost the end of the runway, which is about another three thousand feet past the intersection, risked exceeding the rated speed of the tires.

Ya, without incident with the exception of the long line of the use of the lavratory to change the skid marks in everyones drawers!!! 😮😮😮😮😮😮.......holy shit that was to close!!! Common ATC!!!!

Your animations are SO unbelievably ‘off-the-charts’ excellent; more than comfortably resting within the ‘utterly phenomenal’ category, that if you actually audibly narrated your content; and I mean human voiced, which is always more personable and compelling than a totally weak, cheesy, chintzy AI robot narration, then your channel would be incontestably the KZbin equivalent of ‘Oscar Gold’. I’m not being hyperbolic, man, you would absolutely put all the other aviation disaster channels to miserable and mortifying contemptible shame. It’s just something to think about. And even an accented English narration would be completely acceptable, in fact, for me, it can often be more endearing than our ubiquitous, sometimes insipid American accent. Growing up in the Los Angeles area, I have that standard, generic, nondescript American accent. However, some of the regional US accents can add a bit of flair. Basically what I’m trying to say is, don’t sweat it, whatever it is.

Thank you. The reason I don't narrate is because it'd be a different kind of video and not a reconstruction/simulation of the crashes. The idea is that the viewers feel they're just there in the plane.

SURE, it's unknown if there were disciplinary actions taken against the controller responsible for this incident. That's a slick way of saying that the controller GOT AWAY with this negligent action that should have NEVER happened had the controller been paying simple attention.

Fantastic monitoring and quick thinking on the part of those US Airways Pilots. Thank goodness a disaster was averted. Now I know to avoid Boston.

@RickTheClipper 5 ай бұрын

Lesson learned, avoid Boston. What Dr. Evil creates intersecting runways? Such issues happen way to often at US airports (NYT)

@marcmcreynolds2827 5 ай бұрын

Blame it on God, who created wind directions that shift around more in some places (BOS) than others (LAX). North America has less than 8% of the world population, but nearly 40% of the worldwide airline traffic. So high operations density is likely part of the reason for "way too often". An airport elsewhere, with intersecting runways but relatively sparse operations, would be less likely to experience a conflict.

@57Jimmy 5 ай бұрын

Actually I think it’s the fact that they allowed TO and LDG on two intersecting runways!

@cogitoergospud1 5 ай бұрын

Uhm, 90% of airports have intersecting runways, lol.

@marcmcreynolds2827 5 ай бұрын

@@cogitoergospud1 Even if an airport had near-infinite land area to work with (e.g. DEN), spreading out several runways having different headings so that none intersected would create other safety hazards. For example, tire overheating from extra-long taxi distances, and delayed emergency identification/response.

What a bit of luck the co pilot saw the other plane out of the cockpit window! Could have been another Tenerife! Well done to everyone!

I was on a flight like that leaving DFW in a little prop commuter plane in thick overcast. We came much too close to a 737 who was landing almost on top of us. Had never thought of 737 as huge planes until that day!
