Close call as two packed planes almost collide on runway at New York's JFK airport - CBS News

Officials are investigating a close call at a New York airport Friday night between a plane that was crossing a runway and another that was preparing for takeoff. CBS New York reports both were "full of passengers."

"(Expletive)! Delta 1943, cancel takeoff clearance! Delta 1943, cancel takeoff clearance!" an air controller said in an audio recording of Air Traffic Control communications when he noticed the other plane, operated by American Airlines, crossing in front. The recording was made by LiveATC, a website that monitors and posts flight communications.

CBS New York said panic could be heard in the air controller's voice.

Delta Air Lines' departing Boeing 737 then came to a safe stop on the John F. Kennedy International Airport runway as the other crossed in front around 8:45 p.m., the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.

According to CBS New York, Delta's aircraft had 145 passengers and six crew members on board and was headed to the Dominican Republic. The 137 passengers and 14 crew members on American's Boeing 777 were flying to the United Kingdom.

The Delta flight was cleared for takeoff, but the American plane crossed in front of their path without authorization. The FAA is investigating the incident. Could have been a real disaster.

Sending out panicky message and hope they hear it and respond in time.
