    the pilot who REFUSED to take off until he was damn sure that the lost airliner was at the gate was the hero in this incident. He put safety ahead of everything and may well have saved hundreds of lives. Hope they gave him a raise, or at least bought him a beer.....

    Thank God 2998 refused to take off until the situation was under control. Ive listened to this recording every so often since hearing it in an aviation safety course in 2006. I get choked up about it every time to this day.
    So many lives could've been lost from a simple mistake and the communication is this video.

    1448 knows where it is and knows its on the active runway. Excellent choice by the other pilot to reject takeoff until he knows another plaane is off of it.

      Maybe this was the first time this happened to her? I agree she lost her head. But unless this kind of incident happened before, there's no way to tell whether a person is ready to do her job or not until something like this happens. If they know how, people can do their jobs without a problem. Most of the time there is no problems.

    The US Airways captain was smart to stay put until the situation was crystal clear ( a lesson harshly learned at Tenerife in 1977). The United crew was giving bad info to the controller following their wrong turn and the propagation of bad info confused everyone. Once he reported that someone just took off of the runway a big red flag should have gone up for everyone. A pilot on the United aircraft then said they were on 23L but the controller missed it (probably thinking 23R) and tried to clear the US Airways plane for takeoff. Again the cooler head of the US Airways pilot prevailed and they waited until they knew it was safe despite the confused controllers mistaken assurance that the runway was clear. That was a very dangerous assumption by a harried controller who even said they could not see the runway.
    There is plenty of blame to go around primarily for the United crew but the tower controller only made matters worse by not hearing the 23L call by the United pilot. The US Airways pilot is the hero in this case.

    • @KjartanAndersen
      @KjartanAndersen 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      To clear a flight for takeoff after you have been told by 1448 that they are on or near the ACTIVE runway is close to attempted murder. This airport has no surveillance of the runway and therefore is based on pilots reporting their position. OK, 1448 took a wrong turn when directed to go taxiway N and crossing 16 then onto T. But they reported their position correctly when they realized their mistake. The controller did not take that into account. That would be like not looking at the radar when someone idents because you think you know where they are anyway.
      To take a wrong turn on the ground is not uncommon. That is why airports either have ground surveillance or strict rules of reporting where you are. If controllers don't care people will die. And they would have this time if it wasn't for the 2998 who obviously heard the active runway position of 1448. In his mind then either 1448 didn't know where he was or he knew he was on the active runway. Either way he choose to opt for caution and stay put. And maybe he thought that a fellow pilot obviously is better placed to call out position than a controller without visual of the airport.

    • @chrisgast
      @chrisgast 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm not sure I'd consider that attempted murder. More like involuntary manslaughter.

    • @chrisgast
      @chrisgast 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The controller thought or expected 1448 to be at 23R, when they were actually at 23L. Even 1448 didn't know where they were until they finally admitted it. With it being foggy and 1448 didn't know themselves where they were, how could you expect the controller to know? Yes, since there was confusion, she shouldn't have tried to clear 2998. But she didn't know for certain where 1448 was, and neither did the 1448 crew.

    controller is somewhat unprofessional - yes United made a mistake - but the controller - ai yi yi. Fortunately, they've since converted 5L to Taxiway Victor, and reverted to just runway 5. Also, it looks like they're using ASDE-X to hopefully avoid this sort of thing in the future.

    I can tell that the controller is upset because commercial pilots in particular are supposed to be familiar enough with the airport's layout to navigate effectively on the ground. If you lose your bearings, that's what the taxiway signs are for. Look at your layout chart for the airport which you are supposed to have with you in the cockpit. The FedEx pilot was listening carefully to all communications going on, and maintained safe situational awareness.

    The US Airways crew operating Flight 2998 were praised by a US Air spokesperson for their actions of avoiding a near-disaster. An investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board followed and while no fault was assigned to the controller, she was required to undergo retraining before returning to service. The pilots were debriefed by United, received additional training and were returned to service.

    1:55 they were on 23L/5R but reported they were on 23R and looking at Kilo. I don't know why it took ATC so long to figure out that none of that information made any sense, and then she cleared other aircraft to takeoff.
    Then the lost aircraft said "we are on an active runway!", and ATC proceeds to tell them to shut up and again clears the other aircraft to take off.
    Thankfully the other pilot had the situational awareness to know he'd be barreling into danger and refused the repeated directives to take off.

      Clearing a plane for take-off when another one just radioed they're on an active runway at the same airport and their location is unclear must never, ever, ever! happen on airport. That's much worse.

    Taking advantage of occasion, I'm sorry to say IMHO very idea of allowing controllers to operate without sight/ ground radar sounds to me, as insanity. All controller has to rely on, in order to maintain mental situational awareness are reports of movement and position coming from planes. Whole system relies on them knowing where they are, where they are going, reporting and executing all instructions 100% of a time correctly. Problem is,... every pilot in his career do make wrong turn, one time or another, often even in familiar airport and perfect weather condition. How much more likely this is going to happen in unfamiliar airport, when barely anything at all is visible behind the window? In low visibility, once you take a wrong turn, (which will be the case to many medium and older age planes, as well smaller, foreign and so forth) in many cases there is just no way of knowing about mistake till you reach some intersection where there are signs, which as seen on this video, might happen to be just, too little too late. It's a system of blind, leading other blinds AND more often then less of the time, confused, traveling at 140+ knots, on crossing each other pathways... and hoping everything is going to be an OK... On top: calling it all safe. Add amateurish, arrogant, full of her/himself controller (as on this video) to equation, and once again old FAA rule will be confirmed. in order for things to improve, few hundreds of people MUST die. Close calls, common sense, are never enough to offset corporate interest and economic convenience. Only substantial amount of human blood will do. Only blood finds its way to statistics (word FAA loves), to offset it's claim, how statistically "safe" aviation is. After all only 50 or so people died last ten years in big airline crashes. Fact that another 500 or so only last year died in GA's, and another 10,000 (or God himself only knows how many) could have or almost died, simply does not count. We have "very safe" aviation!
