While it's bad that it got this close, it's good that someone stopped that plane. I'm not saying this is evidence that the system is flawless, but this is better than at least one alternative
I think this tells that the system is working, since even with shit going south they were able to save the day by aborting lift off.
It tells that the system/process can work through issues, which is even more critical than flawless function
Yeah, it really looks like a case of "the first layer of administrative safety control failed, and another layer kicked in to prevent a dangerous scenario."
Yea but it’s not like we don’t have the technology and skill to be able to keep the plane from moving at all. This story should be “airports so busy that there are constant conflicts with schedules” not “these planes nearly obliterated each other.”
It’s a good thing that we have fail-safes but this was too close. Aviation standards need to be airtight.
This happens once in a while. It rarely ends in disaster.
Twice in a little over a month is a bit more frequent than"once in awhile"
Yeah, I'd rather have a thousand news stories of near-misses than one about a crash with casualties
