Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The incident occurred when a Delta Airlines flight bound for Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, began its takeoff run on a runway at JFK and another American Airlines plane was crossing the same runway, reported BBC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The air traffic controller at JFK issued an urgent order to the pilots of the Delta plane, who managed to stop the aircraft and avoid an accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2023\/01\/two-people-found-lifeless-in-landing-gear-of-an-avianca-aircraft.html\">Two people found lifeless in landing gear of an Avianca aircraft<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to radio frequency audios between controllers and pilots, American&#8217;s pilots allegedly failed to follow an order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is known about what happened?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The incident occurred last Friday, January 13, shortly after 20:00 local time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Delta flight 1943 was on runway 4L awaiting clearance to take off for Santo Domingo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, American flight 106 to London was taxiing to the designated takeoff runway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to audio compiled by ATC Live, a site that monitors aviation radio frequencies, the Delta flight was cleared for takeoff from runway 4L.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But as it began its takeoff run, flight AA106 was crossing that same runway on a taxiway that runs across it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Shit! Delta 1943 cancel takeoff clearance!&#8221; the controller says. &#8220;Delta 1943 cancel takeoff clearance,&#8221; he says again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2022\/12\/small-fire-forces-evacuation-of-jetblue-aircraft-at-jfk-airport.html\">Small fire forces evacuation of Jetblue aircraft at JFK airport<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pilot replies aborting takeoff and sighs with a &#8220;ufff.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some aviation experts were able to reconstruct the aircraft positions through flight monitoring sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FFA reported Sunday that, according to a &#8220;preliminary analysis,&#8221; the Delta flight &#8220;stopped its takeoff roll approximately 1,000 feet (300 m) before the point&#8221; where the American flight was crossing from an adjacent taxiway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Delta reported that &#8220;after the aircraft came to a safe stop on the runway, it returned to the gate where customers disembarked.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The flight was rescheduled for the next day, while American&#8217;s flight took off shortly thereafter for London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the recorded audios of the communications, the controller is also heard informing the pilots of American&#8217;s flight that they committed a &#8220;possible deviation&#8221; to the orders received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the pilots replies, &#8220;The last clearance we were given was that we were cleared to cross the runway, is that correct?&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The controller replied that the takeoffs were taking place on runway 4L. American&#8217;s instead was on its way to runway 31L.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s listen to the recordings, but you were supposed to take off from runway 4L. And you guys are now in position for 31L,&#8221; the controller says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will be up to the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) to determine what went wrong and possible penalties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid uagb-post-grid
