My Comment: I know that this is not a war/defense/intelligence story .... but it is not everyday that you see something like this. I suspect that the planes would not have crashed anyway .... but I would love to know what the pilots of both planes and traffic control were saying when this was unfolding.
Screw the video! I want to see the video or hear the audio transcipt of the pilot who was landing afterwards... No doubt he may have had a few 'choice' words for the taxiing pilot.
ReplyDeleteGood thing that pilot was paying attention!
