100% agreed. I think the FAA needs to regroup and extend these runways another 1,500 feet at major airports so these incidentals have recovery time. I know that may see impossible to some of these airports that have been around for years around ponds and marshes and bays, but having extra runway would help out so much. More expensive in real-estate, yes, but geesh why construct bare minimums on runway lengths? Case & point - BUR- Burbank, Ca near where I live is always a hard landing every time. Overshooting the has happened more than once. Runway 15/33, which is 6,885 feet long and aligned in a northwest-southeast direction, and Runway 8/26, which is 5,802 feet long and aligned in an east-west direction.

I can't imagine anybody thinking that having separate tower controllers managing intersecting runways on separate frequencies was a good idea.

Often, you don't know that a problem exists until a disaster, or a near disaster. Take the case of the DC-10 cargo door. It only became known as a potential hazard until it failed the first time on that American flight out of Detroit, that the pilots saved by reacting quickly and using differential throttle settings on the wing engines to control the plane. Even so, it wasn't rectified by Turkish Airlines before it happened again, and the worst single aircraft loss of life happened outside of Paris.

I fly to the east coast a couple times a year, and every time, I think about everything I watch here on The Flight Channel. Without this channel, I would never suspect all the errors (both potential and fatal) that go on beyond my notice. Scary stuff.

To be fair if they had started rotating 132 may not have known about it, maybe some passengers but considering 132 didn't even radio about it I suspect the pilots once the nose lifted couldn't see the oncoming 1170. Wouldn't have been there error of they had collided. Nor 1170 but for smart thinking and observations they avoided an avcodent not of their making. Also goes to show importance of good CRM and flight prep. If they'd still be organising last minute paperwork etc the F/O might not have been keeping peeled for whatever it was got him looking at the window.

I bet that co pilot was no rookie. His quick thinking and calm demeanour is the result of many years of flying experience. Well done!

In loving memory of the 300+ pairs of underpants that were soiled that day 🩲 On a serious note, I used to fly in and out of Logan semi-regularly pre-Covid. Met my wife online in 2005, flew home to the UK after visiting her in Boston for the first time a week or so after this. (Wasn't even aware of this incident until I watched this video.) For such a major airport it's very constrained being located on a reclaimed peninsular of land jutting out into the harbour. Landing in particular always feels like you're going to end up in the drink. Very impressive view of the downtown skyline though I you happen to be sitting on the correct side of the aircraft. On the other it's just a few houses and small boats!

That was sure death and destruction for hundreds of people. The US Airways pilot was just calm and cool. " Probably no need to say this, but there was a near-miss there on take off.".

Perhaps another pilot might have simply panicked and swerved the plane, or completely froze, or maybe would have just taken off as usual and hoped for the best. Very often a driver on the road will be hurt or killed in an accident that would have be easy to avoid with a simple manuever, but the driver either wasn't alert enough to spot the danger, or simply panicked (perhaps due to inexperience) and didn't respond correctly to the situation.

Exactly. To know abandon take off or you will overrun the runway but hitting the other aircraft would be worse

The same incident held at Kempagowda International Airport, Bangalore on January 2022 People onboard two IndiGo flights had a miraculous escape when the aircraft were cleared to take off simultaneously in the same direction from the Kempegowda International Airport's parallel runways on January 7. Luckily, a radar controller spotted the potentially grave error and alerted pilots in both flight decks. One plane swerved sharply to the left and the other to right to avoid a collision. The serious situation did not end then as local authorities allegedly tried to hush it up by not reporting it to DGCA, possibly to avoid a probe, and punishment.

I don't know exactly why but this is one of my favourite videos. Maybe it's because of the precise animations and multiviewing of the overflying moment or even that it was an "end well" situation... Can't wait for the next one!

OMG, that is terrifying. That could have been a huge disaster. Kudos to the pilots of the 737.

These get more realistic. Today than the older videos. Good work on these thanks 😊

Fantastic instinct and good catch on the US First Officer. The calmness in the captain's voice was even more surprising. They 100% earned those awards, can't imagine being in a position like that.

How calmly that captain radioed to Air Traffic about the near-miss ... so cool under incredible pressure. Bravo.

If it was stressful for me just to watch your recreation, just imagine being in that cockpit at that moment...

I don't know if the pilots on Aer Lingus ever saw US Air

Wonderful video. This was the first time I saw an aer Lingus plane in TFC. It gave me goosebumps but I was happy to find out that everybody survived in the end. The best of aviation, keep up the good work pilots 👍

That was good airmanship by the US Air pilot, going at formula 1 speeds and yet keeping in control of the whole situation, while seeing the end of the runway approaching. He was calm too after the incident, our hearts go out to him. Its a weird system, maybe they should have a third controller keeping an eye on the two controllers.

When you're facing 2 problems in quick succession, you have to deal with the immediate one before dealing with the second. If they cleared the intersection safely, they had more than enough speed to take off before overrunning the runway. If they didn't clear the intersection, the second problem would have been moot.

Thank you! A well-explained commentary and the supporting maps are excellent. It's especially helpful to have the abbreviations LCW and LCE etc. explained via footnotes on-screen. For aviation numpties such as I, who is very interested in the subject but basically ignorant of procedures, those explanations are a great help. And what a story this is!😧

So press your imagination down a bit :)

Something tells me the audio we missed in the plane that held to the ground was much more Intense. I. Betting the FO and captain had a bunch of words in those 20 to 30 Seconds🤯🤯

I studied runway incursions, and this one was one of the many incidents I read about, but seeing it in this simulation is on another level. Well done, and hats off to the US Airways crew.

Yeah, that pilot is just too cool that he says probably there was no need to report the near miss. But excellent presence of mind and situational awareness on part of the first officer. Must say good job TFC in terms of content and quality

The pilot said "no need to say so" as a reference that the controllers already was aware of what happened. When said "for the record" he made clear that he made contact only to report the near miss 😉

No doubt! I’m also glad the air lingus pilots didn’t react differently, seeing the potential for collision, imagine if they too had decided to keep it on the ground before rotating.

This is why we respect & admire these airline pilots.

Well done US Airways crew.I also once had delayed rotation when i had spotted a large flock of birds overflying the runway just ahead of the rotation point.Helped save the day thank God!

Some pilots are just really good at what they do. Most of them actually. That's why most flights get you home safely. These pilots were really good though.

Although the planes avoided a collision, seems like the ground vehicles weren't so lucky at 2:36 😅

This has got to be my favorite airplane video because of the way the pilots of the smaller aircraft avoided a collision by their quick thinking. Love it and have watched it several times since finding it.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

“Tower when you have a moment I have a number for you to call for possible controller deviation.”

I’m astonished that the US Air plane could leave the ground with so much scrotal weight in the front. You know, in the…uh, flight deck.

Thank God for smart pilots, controllers who (hopefully) learn from terrible mistakes, and of course this great channel. Love the work you do putting out all these amazing videos. Thank you FC ✈✈✈

We learn from these. The weakness in procedure had passed unnoticed for a long time. I'm glad it was addressed making the airport safer.....a disaster waiting to happen.

That was a bright, blessed day for all 381 souls on board those two planes. Salute to the pilots of US Airways 1170!

Can't believe the US Air captain sounded so calm afterwards, almost laughing it off (I guess he was probably in shock to an extent!).....and the ATC response simply "Roger" because of course they knew what had happened and whose fault it was even at that stage. This could have been unbelievably bad had the planes collided or had the US Air flight run off the runway into the water. The US Air crew must have felt their blood run cold when they saw the Aer Lingus aircraft, they reacted commendably well.

I was wondering why he didn't say "sorry". Is it because he has already been replaced/relieved from service and it's a new controller? Or is it because he probably should not admit any form of responsability on record before talking to his lawyers ? Or is it just that he's still trying to figure what really happened in front of his eyes?

@@natanlieds4468 I think there must be some strict protocols to follow after a near-miss and you're right, the east and west controllers would probably have been immediately relieved of their posts (not least because they would be in shock too and not in a good frame of mind to keep working that day)

I wonder when they (or one of them) noticed their mistake. Apparently not right away or they would have told the pilots to abort the takeoff. The horror when they realized what they did ... then immense relief, total emotional rollercoaster. I guess they lost their job? Or at least the one who cleared the second plane?

The successful resolution of this near-miss relied on pilots of one plane keeping it down, while others going ahead with take off. There was no way for pilots to actually coordinate this in time. They both might've just as easily kept their planes on the runway hoping for the other to take off. Scary.

Maybe that's why they ended up only 70 m apart; the AL flight delayed the start of the roll 1-1,5 seconds?

There are many you tube channels covering a wide variety of video and information. There are few channels that can be as accurate or hard working as this to create and reconstruct these aviation incidents with breathtaking accuracy. well done TFC and continued success you deserve it

WOW! US Airways, you no doubt saved many many lives, and the calm and professionalism over the radio was incredible...damn I freak out when someone cuts me off in traffic while driving... ok maybe not but you know what I mean.

Shout out to the US Airways pilots for their actions, big time!

Beautiful cinematics and music.
