Terrifying near-miss between passenger planes at JFK Airport

[@Kirby08]

For those curious as to why they put people in hotels it was because they had to go back to the gate and the crew ended up timing out, so they postponed the flight till the next day. It wasn’t because they wanted passengers to relax after what happened lol no airline would spend the money on that

Fk the time out

[@brendamorrissey2126]

@@AK-me3tt fatigue is one of the leading causes of mishaps. Adrenaline drop, as would have occurred here, is a contributor to fatigue. Rest time requirements (timing out) are there entirely for safety. A fatigued crew may not have avoided a collision!

[@astrowuff]

Also the brakes need time to cool, so they would have had to wait at least an hour and do some inspections first.

[@Kirby08]

@@AK-me3tt The max time a crew can work is 15 hours in a day which means that crew had already been working for a long time that day if they timed out. I know it sucks for passengers when it happens but having a tired crew is not safe whatsoever.

[@HamBown]

There was no miscommunication, the American Airlines flight went the wrong way. They were cleared to cross runway 31L at taxiway K, but they crossed runway 4L instead (apparently without looking). They were also told to stop a number of times on the ground frequency and never responded, likely because they were listening to another frequency or talking to their company when they should have been monitoring ground and maintaining their situational awareness. Way too close! The ATC audio is on the VASAviaton channel.

[@gatolibero8329]

Yeah, I was going to say the same. Tower was clear as a bell. Not only did they pass 31L/Kilo but they continued to 4L/Juliet and crossed, which wasn't the instructions tower gave. Also... they should have know 4L was the active runway. So, they cross an active runway where they weren't even given permission to do so in the first place. That's beyond miscommunication, that's not paying attention.

To put it into perspective, the 777 saw the 737 with 3 seconds to spare. Its a nightmare scenario because the 777 is a "heavy", which means it carries a ton of fuel and a lot of passengers. The worst aircraft disaster to ever happen (Tenerife accident), happened in exactly this manner

Wow! No only averting disaster but responsible enough to understand the need to undertake a trauma debrief of staff and passengers, as well provide safe space for emotional recovery. That is true professional and ethical practice in human service provision. ❤️

[@paigemccormick6519]

@noyb471 Oh yes, I really the way kylie emphasized the fragile narrative around everyone's emotions with a heart emoji. What could be more compassionate?

[@C.Church]

Yeah. THIS is the level that should cause safe space and on-the-scene counseling... not "Someone I disagree with spoke at my college! We need a trauma tent, counselors on hand and coloring books! 😭"

@tu sabe ♡^ well posted

[@SnowSnowYT]

The is no need for trauma debrief, why not just take off again and save the time and money

What they really needed was a change of underwear ;-)

I remember taking a flight cross country, where we could listen to ATC as they hand it over from one to the other. The flight was from San Francisco to New York City, and every regional area has their own accents and speed of speech, but there's a big difference in the New York area. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more. As a New Yorker I know we speak too quick. Our syllables are mixed up together and we expect everyone to understand and, when I heard how the pilots were communicating with ATC over New York Center, I was definitely aware of the possibilities that there would be miscommunications

In other words, nothing happened. Everything is fine and the systems in place worked.

Ima walk, have a nice flight 🖐

Something is going on

[@colleenstevens7651]

Weirdness is going on

[@lifeismagical3123]

Well in Austin a couple of weeks ago a Fed Ex plane and a Southwest Airlines plane with passengers almost collided while in the air smh

[@zaram131]

I can tell you one thing.. Something like this happens to me, I would need more than a night to calm down. I would never fly again. I’m scared on a good flight. I don’t like stories like this!

[@zaram131]

I flew Delta out of JFK a few months ago so it could have been me.

[@deepthinker999]

In Chicago you could be injured or killed by daily gang crossfire. Does that mean that you will never leave home? Soldiers who survive multiple tours in Afghanistan wind up getting killed locally.

Watching this while waiting to board my plane....🙄
