Officials said an American Airlines plane crossed a runway where a Delta plane was accelerating to take off.
Officials said a London-bound American Airlines plane crossed a runway at JFK where a Delta plane was accelerating to take off for the Dominican Republic on Friday.
The Delta pilot slammed on the brakes, narrowly missing the American 777, which the FAA said was just 1,000 feet away."The last clearance, we were given, we were cleared to cross, is that correct?" said a pilot in audio from air traffic control. "I guess we'll listen to the tapes, but you were supposed to depart runway 4 left. You are currently holding short of 3-1 left," replied air traffic control. "I didn't know what was going to happen, because this was not supposed to happen. I knew that this was not normal," said Brian Healy, who on the Delta flight with his husband."You could feel a jolt as the brakes activated. I would say there was audible reactions from passengers in the cabin, some gasps.
