its also strange that 757 didnt bother to tell her AGAIN that a plane just flew right above them. i mean how could u not repeat such a thing when the atc just refuses to buy ur words, not saying the atc was not one of the most pathetic that i've seen and i've seen many videos of such incidents.

The first one, this is exactly how pilots should handle that. I don't care what the controller clears me to do, if I am not sure what's going on or that it is safe, this aircraft isn't moving. Worth mentioning, hats off to those pilots, it is not easy to maintain a professional tone when crap like that is going on.

[@philipmessedger481]

No controller should be stubborn when a pilot expresses concerns about whatever potentiel issue, especially in bad visual conditions. As for the second case, the ATC sequence goes on with apologies and thanks from the controller, whose voice indicates clear dismay, followed by humble acknowledgement from the Fedex pilot. Hats up to those guys, especially the latter and the Southwest pilot who decided to hold short despite T/O clearance.

That was pretty close for the FedEx 727! I can understand UAL getting lost in a heavy ground fog but the controller seemed quite emotional and incompetent sending another A/C to take off while unsure where UAL was stationed. Even after UAL reported several times their exact position she refused to accept that information. She's needing a new job. FedEx saved the day from another inept controller at Austin!

[@CathyKitson]

I agree, although FedEx made.a mistake very late on and told her they were at the opposite end of the airport to where they actually were. The pilot did immediately correct this, however. It led to utter confusion on both sides. I do agree she was very abrupt with the pilot which was unprofessional. She tried to pressurise the other plane to take off which she shouldn't have done considering the confusion. The other pilot saved many lives.

[@dillon17]

I cant understand fedex for getting lost. Did they not use charts back then? Even paper charts? If they had their ground charts open, they would clearly see making a almost 180 is not correct, and being by K would show where they are.

[@DannoAviation]

The fact that the departing aircraft in the first incident was relatively small aircraft being a 727F, and not anything larger with a longer takeoff run, is a real stroke of luck… Edit: Just when you think it couldn’t get worse… they clear the 737 for takeoff… MULTIPLE times… just wow.

[@loveblue2]

I hope the ATC was fired. Totally unprofessional and a know it all to boot. If the US Air pilot had followed her instruction, think of the disaster that would have resulted, not to mention the near miss with the Fed Ex plane. Good on the US air pilot for listening to the conversation.

[@mendel5106]

The miracle is that the FedEx was a relatively small plane and did not need alot of runway to take off. Had it been a 777 or 787 that would have likely resulted in Tenerife 2.0 The levelheaded USAir pilot sensing confusion had the state of mind to reject the clearance until things got sorted out. Thankfully he was not suffering from "getthereitis at all costitis" Oh and the controller being arrogant with tunnel vision is not only not helpful but is unprofessional and leads to danger. (Professionals can make mistakes but they apologize and take responsibility for it.) I should say as well that the pilots did not initially read (or paid attention to) the signs of the taxiways even though they are meant to shine through fog, and here is a tip: making an almost 180* u-turn will lead you back to the runway you just landed on. (Only later after they realized and woke up to see they are on an active runway did they start paying attention to the signs which they clearly saw as the signs are fog resistant.) I guess they were not familiar with that airport nor were they following the chart if they had one. (Getthereitis...)

The landing plane was nearing the runway, but our plane just rolled on and applied full throttle (it was delayed at about 20 minutes). If the SWA went onto the runway and did the same manouver, it wouldn't be a problem. But because they stopped on the runway, it probably resulted 30-40 seconds of additional time to stop and gain speed again. And we have this video.

In the early 1980's, I witnessed an incident similar to the second one. I was on a military base adjacent to the San Diego airport. A C-5 had taken off from North Island Air Station and, for whatever reason, flew directly over the San Diego airport runways. At the same time, an MD-80 was lifting off from the San Diego airport. The MD-80 swung a hard right turn, then a hard left to avoid collision. The C-5 hung a sharp left turn and there was nearly a second collision. The MD-80 flew under the C-5, then continued unmolested. The C-5 disappeared as it was returning in the direction of North Island.

ATC will cancel all departures and arrivals until you are where you need to be - I have done this as a former tower controller. I didn't watch the video because I know the inside issues in this, but after the incident, ATC tried to get a Continental jet to taxi to the active runway, and he responded, "no that's okay, we'll wait until United is at the gate" -- as it should be.

Everyone is making a big deal over the first incident, but the second seems more egrigious, clearing someone for takeoff that is holding short of a runway that has a jet configured for landing on it traveling at 170 knots thats 3 miles away in fog is more of an egrigious act by ATC than a controller in the 90's with no ground radar in fog being lied to by a plane that cant follow instructions.

[@neilpatrickhairless]

The first one comes off as worse because repeated confirmation of a problem to ATC was met with an "I know more than you do" attitude. If the lady knew more than the pilots, she would have known what runway the plane was on, deducing such information via common sense understanding of what "we are on an active runway" means seconds after a plane they cleared departed and which runway Kilo taxiway was adjacent to. "We are on an active runway, looking at Kilo" immediately negates any other information the ATC thinks she knows from that point until Kingdom Come. She knew she woke up that morning and after that it's anyone's guess. Yes, the second incident is worse. But the first incident was continuously and acrively made worse by the tower.

[@Chris80]

What I could not understand as a small european PPL pilot: Why in gods name does any ATC let an airplane line up on a runway AFTER he cleared another airplane to land? After the landing clearance the runway is blocked for the incoming traffic and nobody, I repeat nobody is allowed to enter, cross or land on this runway! It is today only about 1,5 month ago that an ATC cleared my to line up and wait while I was able to see the incoming traffic on final 20 seconds prior touch down. My only answer was: "D-Exyz is holding position short of runway 18! for incoming traffic on final." After that ATC wanted to discuss the situation because ATC said that there was no traffic. I repeated again and again: "D-Exyz is holding position short of runway 18!" ... What a nightmare and bad handling to give the instruction to line up after another airplane is cleared on final.

1. I'm glad everyone was all right after these 2, almost runway incursion. 2. Austin airport, at the time, did NOT have Airport Surface Detection System Model-X (ASDE-X). Due to the fog, the tower could NOT visually see that the Southwest airplane had already started to roll BEFORE the Tower said they could start their roll. Although the Tower bears some responsibility, a major contributing factor is that Austin did NOT have ASDE-X. Therefore, it was NOT due to a "DEI" hire as some have wrongly stated in some of the comments below. 3. In April 2024, due to this incident, Austin installed the ASDE-X to help ALL educated and trained professional controllers to help prevent near misses like this in the future.

[@maanmohammad8459]

What do you mean "before the tower said they could start their roll?"he cleared them for take off.Whether he had ASDE-X or not is not an issue here.

[@Rindiculousfun]

Southwest pilots seemed to have no situational awareness as well. Knowing a guys on 3 mile final and then taking their sweet ass time to start the roll. And while it is not 100% safe to abort the takeoff above 80 knots and below V1 (you are taught only to do that if safety of continuing the flight is in jeopardy), it’s much safer to do that than cause a risk of a midair collision. It’s good thing that the FedEx pilots knew what they were doing good call on the FO on the go around and I bet they discussed that with each other as soon as the southwest pilot was cleared for takeoff which is good CRM.

I was sent to Lambert- St Louis during the controller's strike. Our early evening was usually very busy with TWA landings and Frontier departures. One evening I was working ground control. Due to the wind, we were landing and departing the same runway. The local controller had a L-1011 Heavy on final and cleared a short DC-9 (MD-80??) for immediate takeoff. The Frontier pulled out onto the runway and stopped. By this time the L-1011 was on a mile final. The L-1011 lands with its nose very high, obstructing the pilots view. The L-1011 decides to go around. Finally, the Frontier starts its takeoff roll and rotates. There's only one problem. The standard departures at STL calls for flying runway heading, climbing to 5000. The missed approach instructions are fly runway heading and climb to 2500. When the Frontier rotated it was directly below the L-1011with both planes flying runway heading. It was a beautiful sight though it could've been tragic. The local controller turned the L-1011 to the right and it all worked out ok but I'll never forget seeing those two planes directly under each other.

The decline of TFC. It used to be awesome. I'm still subbed, maybe I'm delusional in thinking a new video will be posted. Oh well, Mentour Pilot uploaded a video today.😊

[@glamdolly30]

Green Dot Aviation is superb too, he just doesn't upload enough videos!

[@-Always_Right-]

Rhode Island really got some of the worst fog I've ever seen

[@FernyB58]

Fire that controller she is a danger to everyone

[@mmodnao]

I wouldn’t trust the first ATC even as a McDonald’s drive-through coordinator.

[@michiferrucci]

I'm gonna try with reverse psychology: "I love reuploads, keep up with the good work my G! More reuploads PLEASE!"

[@CoastalAutoReactionCAR]

Yes, I am also quite confused at what is going on I do understand the workload required to make new episodes, but I’m unsure on what is going on here

[@onlyeightfingers]

Reuploads that have lots of errors in them that the originals didn’t have! I love all the distracting mistakes!

[@CoastalAutoReactionCAR]

@@onlyeightfingers I am starting to think that the original developer sold the channel as it probably is quite or was quite profitable, that would explain the rapid endings even on the non-re-uploads the video just stop with no real outro? Along with the errors, etc., that would be my best guess he sold the channel.

[@elmalloc]

@@CoastalAutoReactionCAR Yes they originally hired others who did a VERY bad job. I have to imagine t's money related also, the real person left and only cared about money apparently, leave his audience in the dust. F him for these poor quality videos.

[@DoltonI]

Oh thank you! I was going to ask in the comments if this channel was still just doing reuploads. I think it's been almost a year now? I also see there's still suspicions that the real owner has sold off the channel. Well, with all that in mind, there's no point in staying subscribed anymore. I can't stomach seeing aviation tragedies being turned into someone's ad revenue. How low of them.

[@happytobefree4314]

Please tell me the air controller is fired

[@CathyKitson]

Just shows when ATC cocks up, disaster is not far behind.

[@michelm.6033]

Thank God for US Air pilots!

[@taags]

What a stressful job, pilot and airtrafficer. Would never do it myself.

[@dos3622]

That controller in the first segment thought 1448 was at 23r and it's not a runway. How can she assume 1448 was there if it is cloudy and dark? Wow.

[@mattdad8429]

Whenever I hear a woman's voice that has anything to do with controlling airplanes I automatically assume there's going to be a monumental clusterfuck to unravel.

[@AviationCity-q4h]

12:23 why did it glitch?

[@theunintelligentlydesigned4931]

There were glitches throughout the video.
