Video: Air Traffic Controller to United Pilot: Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!
Posted by Matthew Justice on Nov 9, 2007
Don't know if it is just me but these videos give me cold chills. This troubling animated video released yesterday by the National Transportation Safety Board illustrating two near-collisions on U.S. runways this year should convince any skeptics that more work needs to be done to prevent runway accidents.
Most disturbing: audio of an air traffic controller yelling “Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!” at a United Airlines pilot about to taxi onto a San Francisco runway—right into the path of a landing Delta jet. Fortunately, an accident was avoided this time. The NTSB called on the Federal Aviation Administration to step up safety procedures: “Until there is a system in place to positively control ground movements of all aircraft, with direct warning to pilots, the potential for this type of disaster will continue to be high.”
