Passengers onboard a Delta flight to the Dominican Republic screamed in terror Friday night when their plane grounded to an abrupt stop after an American Airlines plane crossed into its runway.
'There were vocal reactions,' said Donall Brian Healy. 'A few screams when the plane first started slowing then total silence.'
The Boeing 737 was already traveling at 115mph down a runway at New York's JFK airport Friday night when an air traffic controller noticed that the American Airlines flight to the UK crossed from an adjacent runway right in front of the departing plane, ABC 7 reports.

Incident is terrifying for sure, but in a different way it's also unsettling to see that we have headline writers and editors who don't seem to know the difference between BREAKS and BRAKES.

Those things can stop hard. Was landing in Heathrow and had a very abrupt deceleration. Turns out the pilots just wanted to get to the first taxiway to save 10 minutes on gate arrival.
As my uncle Captain Ollie once said, "Sometimes you've just got to plunk it down."

Clearly a "runway incursion event", which the FAA has been trying to educate pilots about for years. Typically, these are caused by unclear taxi instructions, and poor taxiway and/or runway signage and a pilot unfamiliar with the airport. Runway and taxiway signage has been greatly improved in the last 30 years, but we'll see if this was a crew not following directions, mistakes in understanding signage, or ambiguous directions to the crew by ground control.
"Slammed on the breaks"??? Really?
Can NO ONE spell any more? You break a glass, and you slow an aircraft with BRAKES.
No editors who can spell any more.

#2, 4, & 6 I noticed that the plane “grounded” to a stop. Are there no editors?

Sh** was the controller's first reaction when he/she/it realized what was happening.

I recognize a vocal reaction when I hear one. Or say one.

Could have been another Tenerife disaster. God was in the cockpit. Give thanks...

Directly caused by the Secretary of Transportation, Pete Bootagig. Demoncraps can't keep track of secret documents. How do you expect them to line planes up on runways?

My tinfoil hat wonders if this was meant to be a collision, and a distraction to get the Biden treason out of the news. Stranger things have happened.

I'd like to know why taxi instructions for aircraft at large complex airports hasn't been automated to prevent accidents. Properly taxing can be a challenge, especially in bad weather and at night. .

I have to question the author re the 737 being at 115 mph after three seconds. Even at light weight planes do not accelerate that fast in the first 2 to 3 seconds, however once they are moving the acceleration picks up. It is more than likely it was at or below 60mph at 3 seconds depending on its weight, fuel load and whether the takeoff was at full throttle.

Somebody made a big mistake, either an air traffic controller of one of the two pilots involved. I knew a guy that used to work as an air traffic controller at a big airport decades ago. He told me that most of this type of incident happens at international airports involving a foreign crewed aircraft where the pilot and co-pilot don’t really understand that much English, especially when air traffic controllers quickly give those pilots and co-pilots technical directions. In this particular incident two US aircraft were involved, luckily the air traffic controllers caught this obvious potentially deadly mistake in time.

"AA106, possible pilot deviation. I have a number for you. Advise ready to copy..."
Not looking good for Captain of AA106. Runway incursion: That's a huge "Thou shalt not..." in the CFRs (formerly FARs) and a potential career ender.
Still, thank God there were no injuries or fatalities.

Back in the 70's when I was working on my commercial license, a German pilot flying a Learjet took off on a taxi way that was parallel to a runway at Nashville international Airport. This happened after dark. The controller alerted the pilot to the fact but the German insisted that he was on the runway and kept on trucking. I never heard anything else about it.

Air traffic control system needs upgrading immediately. While training to become a controller, I was told air traffic controllers are responsible for the aircraft until it reaches the gate.
