This is NOT a bug, this is a feature. You want tax cuts & tax cuts mean inferior government services. Enjoy your tax cuts.

Things like this does not happen often. When it does happen, people find out pretty quickly. Plus, every incident like this is investigated, documented, and made public by the FAA as they are a government agency.

Very often. People screw up all the time

The reason it makes national news is that it really doesn't happen very often. Yes, there have been 3 incidents in a few days but overall, it's very, very rare. Keep in mind that if there is a 1 in a 1 million chance of something happening, the one time something happens won't be exactly 1 million times after the last incident. It could happen within 10 times and then not happen for 2 million more times. Think of flipping an unbiased coin. Over 1000 flips, close to 500 will be heads and close to 500 will be tails. But if you actually take the time to record the flips, you'll see runs of 10, 20, even 50 all heads or all tails in a row. They tend to cluster but the overall will be very, very close to 50/50. This is a familiar exercise math professors use to demonstrate randomness: they assign the class into 2 groups. One group has a coin and flips it X number of times (usually 100 but some professors take it up to 250 or 500) and records the results on a board. The other group makes up a set of fake results for the same number of flips. Without knowing which group did the actual flips vs the faked results, the professor can come in, look at both boards and usually tell instantly which group was faked. The faked group always looks fake because their runs are never as long as real results. The faked results are always too random to be real. The same thing is happening here. Three incidents within a short span of days, then there won't be any more incidents for a long time. Or there could be another incident tomorrow--that's the nature of probability.

There are whole KZfaq channels now dedicated to monitoring incidents like this all around the world. So when things like this happen, it’s rare for it to go unnoticed by the public unless covered up.

@@Fordgroup00 No they don't. Mistakes happen all the time, but mistakes THIS severe are rare nowadays.

Geez. That's horrific on both ends :(

This is attempted murder… the controllers from Austin and JFK should be jailed

@@canadianaviator I thought the plane at jfk took the wrong runway? Wasn't he told the correct runway?

@@inexperiencedladywithagun7851 plane was on the wrong runway ur correct

Controller should be jailed for attempted murder

They weren't near misses They were near hits A crash is a near miss. Wow almost missed it.

@@johnsalaman1315 I didn’t mean it literally, rather near misses within the framework of safety. When there is an unplanned event that had the potential for injury or damage due to a missed or broken step in the chain of safety but it doesn’t result in harm it’s a near miss. OSHA commonly uses it within workplaces.

@@DCHenny316 gotcha..

FedEx got close enough to see Southwest and told them to abort, but Southwest was going too fast and didn't have enough runway left. FedEx then gave it all they had to get above the Southwest while Southwest kept the climb shallow to give FedEx space. Both crews did an excellent job. The controller needs a verbal lashing and some serious retraining.

@@hewhohasnoidentity4377 I don’t understand why the pilot of the Southwest aircraft didn’t respond to the FedEx crew and let them know what they were going to do when they couldn’t abort?

@@21AirDrop Listening to the chat between the two planes and ATC with a live(ish) gps tracker of flight positioning, Southwest gets the Abort call, then immediately FedEx called the go around. Then ATC sends another message to Southwest as they are taking off (likely because they reached or were too close to V1 to safely stop) which Southwest replies with a "negative". Partially for the delay in telling FedEx is they are busy with takeoff procedures and trying to make a split second decision on if they can safely abort or not.

​@@TylerGutwein right, that "negative" was probably to warn the FX pilots what the situation was (V1). It is most likely, the WN pilot didn't say "negative" as a negative (no pun intended) interaction, but just exactly what the FX pilot needed to remove any speculation WN was not going to stop.

Absolutely!! FX… AWARENESS!! Gotta be aware at all times… in the air and on the ground

That costs money & tax cuts = worse government services

AI and automation are the only answer.

@@tringuyen7519 that's being tested

It’s something g to consider. There was so much talk going into the pandemic about “being forced to take a break from the exhausting pace of life”. But the pandemic itself was beyond exhausting. There’s never been a break, yet everyone is expected to just keep going and ramp up the pace even more.

Intentional!

no sh!t we're burning out especially after the grand scheme of a social experiment that the past two years has been lmao

If we get rid of social media will be just fine.

@@SagHill_255 especially that Chinese spyware called Tik Tok

I was thinking about the same but I think it's an over engineered solution. Humans make mistakes by nature, they get tired, confused, sleepy. Computers don't. I would understand that people don't trust computers so why now deploy a computerized system as a backup/watchdog?

That happens a lot they talk to fast and unclear.

That’s how pilots and ATC communicate. All the time. Tune into ATC public or recorded communications.

The issue here is this occurred in IMC. The controller applied an incorrect separation procedure. 3 mile separation is required to be established and maintained in this case. If FedEx was already on a 3 mile final when SWA was cleared, there's no way that would have happened (and clearly it didn't). The only exception to this I'm aware of is if the control tower has an ASDE-X or ASSC system, of which AUS does not have. You've likely been issued takeoff clearances with traffic 3 miles or less in good visibility, in which case the separation standard (for most large aircraft) requires the departing aircraft to be 6000 feet down the runway and airborne before the arrival crosses the landing threshold.

I agree it was FX that told WN to abort. This also shows the WN pilot knew the approach plate for 18L -- since a left turn (FX) is the procedure for a go around, the WN pilot knew he had to pull right. 👍

Diversity quota hires

Promptness in low visibility isn't something you do. However, the SW crew should've denied to clearance for takeoff until the FedEx aircraft cleared the runway.

Yes, I believe they do.

No

No. AUS does not have an ASDE-X or ASSC system

?

they let you vote?

Yes it was Mr Gimlet

I believe ur confused, him were referring to havin 2 daddys

Put your politics where the sun don't shine!

He is a staple of token hiring! Just matter of time a disaster is going to happen under his watch😢

Say you know nothing about ATC hiring process without saying it, bravo

@@casperguo7177 they do a great job,I really mean that.just maybe a tad slower, and a tad clearer would be an improvement. But then again the mayday air disasters won't be nearly as interesting to watch
