From where I'm sitting, it's not really "the fault" of ATC (even though it is) simply because I'm not trusting enough of ATC even when they're on "my side".
When cleared across a runway I'm still going to be looking in all directions, and proceed as fast as I can. I also look both ways at railway crossings even if the guards are up and silent.
- __turbobrew__ 8mo agoI wonder if visibility was good enough that looking both ways before crossing the runway would have prevented this.
- bombcar 8mo agoThat'll be one of the things the NTSB investigates. I also wonder if you're down to a "one controller" scenario if it would be better for there to be once frequency, not a ground/air split.
- alistairSH 8mo agoOr perhaps a "one controller" scenario is just terrible policy.
- f1shy 8mo agoNo. it wasn't. Delta crosses 04 in diagonal, so basically they should have taken the head out of the window and look behind. They had the clearance, so they just tried to cross. The problem is for some reason they did not hear the "Truck 1 stop" call.
