A much more informative video is https://youtu.be/6NbVdIoJsHY?t=169 https://youtu.be/6NbVdIoJsHY?t=169 ... you can see the accident aircraft enter the runway then stands there for 40+ seconds before the other aircraft lands on it. It seems like a lot of time during which controllers could have detected the conflict.
- cryptonector 3y agoWow, the dash-8 begins to move into the runway at 2:48, and then sits there for the rest of the time. It's really hard to spot this from this video going forwards, but it you got backwards from the crash you can see the lights from the dash-8 and work out when it got onto the runway. Maybe the coast guard pilot thought he had permission to line up, but not to take off? Anyways, it's also pretty easy to see that it would have been difficult for the tower staff and the A350 pilots to notice the incursion and avoid the accident.
- jeffbee 3y agoI think the wide angle of view from this camera gives a misleading impression of what it would have looked like in person. I also have no idea where the controllers would have been in this scene. Is the aircraft landing on 34R?
- rootusrootus 3y agoAnd 40 seconds where it should have been visible to the pilots of the airliner. I know they have checklists to run, but are neither of the pilots looking forward during final approach?
