I was a flight attendant for TWA and AA for a total of 44 years, and I happened to work a flight out of STL early the next morning after that accident. We carried First Officer Randy Speed home to his commuter city after the accident and initial debrief and as can be imagined, he was tired and a bit shook up from the accident. It was an honor to fly him back to his home and family. If I remember correctly (long time ago) I think that he said that he eventually walked back down the runway in the dark after they secured their own aircraft and passengers to see if he could locate and assist the other aircraft and found the wreckage of the fuselage of the Cessna and found the dead passenger and pilot. He mentioned how shaken up he was by that. Kudos to the TWA crew who did everything they could to avoid a direct hit (fuselage to fuselage) by swerving and saving many more lives that night.

Interestingly, Runway 31 at KSTL at the time was converted from Taxiway Foxtrot due to increased operations at the airport, which was located right next to the GA ramp the Cessna pilot was leaving from, and the Cessna pilot had to taxi along the displaced threshold of Runway 31 in order to reach Runway 30R. It's also likely that the pilot had used Taxiway Foxtrot (as I think the ground controller would've referred to it as) while taxiing to the GA area. Other pilots had also confused 31 for 30R prior to this accident, so the lighting on runway 31 was dimmed so that aircraft landing 30R would have an easier time identifying the correct runway to land on, and might have been dimmed while the Cessna pilot was taxiing. Aside from the Runway 31 sign leaving the GA ramp and the displaced threshold arrow markings, I wonder if the pilot mentally registered Runway 31 as a taxiway and not an actual runway. Also, KSTL had just installed newly-functioning ground radar to help prevent a collision like this but it wasn't working on this day due to a "computer hard drive failure," so yay computers I guess.
@pomerau2 жыл бұрын
That further convinces me that pilot was betrayed / deceived - whatever you like to call it. (I'm not very descriptive at the moment). He was clearly a conscientious pilot. That was a momentary assumption any of us could make. (I don't fly). That layout was all wrong, along with the very rare usage pattern for 31, that it's normally a taxiway, that suddenly oh this is our other runway just right now but we assume you know what we mean. 30R vs 31: night and day - right? No. The two visits he had made it almost inevitable he would make logical assumptions about where he was going. I dunno how to say it, but that place was all wrong.

I was in the Air Force many years ago and was regularly crossed active runways. We were required to repeat the tower’s instructions back to them. That was really beneficial to us because their radio overpowered ours to the point we couldn’t understand them. The length of their message was how we determined what we were supposed to do. If they came back on yelling and screaming like a bunch of wild savages, it was assumed that they took the long way to tell you to “hold short “ and you shouldn’t cross.

Any instruction to back-taxi and hold in position on an active runway would come from the 'Tower Controller', not the 'Ground Controller'. And, to top it off, I can't seem to find a Runway 31 anywhere on the St. Louis airport. Did there used to be one?

In retrospect, it should have had a clown-sized red tie painted on the vertical stab. One way or the other, it's just plain hard to make a 727-200 look bad. I assume the design spec read something like "Build a really cool-looking airliner... and maybe figure on some performance / payload / range stuff too".

Wow, maybe if the Cessna pilot had repeated back the instructions to the controller this may have been avoided. That should be standard procedure. But, there were factors working against this pilot - RIP two souls.

Why give the different runways such similar numbers? Why not 30 and 75? Or something? Surely that makes a more obvious distinction

The re-enactment animation did not show the planes crashing. Did they crash on the ground or while trying to take off?

I don't know why airports use such similar numbering for runways. Use odd words that never rhyme or start with the same letter. Apple, Zebra, Popcorn, Litterbox, Origami...
@dblack26302 жыл бұрын
Runways are designated by their magnetic orientation on the compass, which tells pilots in which direction they'll be landing or taking off, which in turn helps with navigation, especially in the landing approach. Landing on Runway 30 means flying in the direction of 300 degrees on the compass. The same runway used in the opposite direction is Runway 12. I do have to admit that I kind of like the idea of landing on Runway Popcorn. Litterbox would give me some pause, although it's a lot better than Junkyard.

@@dblack2630 I didn't know about the magnetic orientation. I prefer my naming approach :) Okay, so how about Popcorn 30?
