I don't know how they could think that, they read back the ATC message and it seems unambiguous:
Tokyo TOWER: "JA722A Tokyo TOWER good evening. Number 1, taxi to holding point C5."
JA722A: "Taxi to holding point C5 JA722A Number 1, thank you"
- eknkc 3y agoThey would also be able to hear the landing clearance for the other aircraft, no?. They would know someone was landing at that moment. Weird accident.
- anilakar 3y agoThey checked in on the tower frequency after the landing clearance was given so they likely were on ground until that point.
- logifail 3y ago> They would know someone was landing [...] A good friend of mine worked for decades in ATC, I asked him earlier today what he'd have said, he thought "Taxi to C5 and hold" would have avoided confusion. In his view "Number 1" isn't helpful.
