NEAR COLLISION between Departing and Taxiing aircraft at JFK

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ. -- AAL106 first taxi clearance included runway 4L as departing runway (not in video) -- Then told to cross 31L at K and continue on to 4L. (in video after the reference from the Captain). -- When entering the runway 4L (about to cross 4L at J - diagram layover) they were told to stop several times on GND frequency (not in video) I included the little clip from Ground at the middle of the video because of the own reference of AAL106 male pilot for you to see what they had previously received. AAL185 and Jetblue are NOT involved. Colored boxes appear around the airplanes when they transmit for better visual reference. I can't understand the blames on this edit, seriously. This channel uses colors to highlight the talking aircraft and CALLSIGNS appear in the captions. Just pay attention to what they say and to whom.

when u hear the ATC scream SHIT into the freq thats when u know things could have been BAD

Oh i got it. They were supposed to cross 31L at Kilo but mistakenly crossed 4L at Juliet. Ooof, someone is getting a write up.

Good on the ATC for realizing the incursion and cancelling takeoff clearance. But I imagine the delay in DAL1943 reading back the cancellation and having to be told twice is because they were already rejecting and were a little busy. So props to the DAL1943 pilots as well for maintaining situational awareness.

Love the Taxi diagram integration! Very neat video in such a short time. You're amazing.

you can hear the mix of anger, relieve and anxiety in the voice of the DAL1943 pilot..

I think screaming "Sh*t!" prior to any emergency instruction is far more effective than any "traffic alert" phraseology... Not applicable here really but it's inspiration. Great job, Kennedy LC 👏🏻

Imagine the passengers on the 777 right side, looking out the window.

Such a short time between recognizing the possible collision ("Sh*t!"), identifying the correct call sign and sending out the call ("Delta 1943, cancel takeoff clearance"). Thank you controllers for all you do! 🙏🙇 Pilots are really getting taxed these days. Thank goodness controllers and pilots are quick thinking and even quicker acting! Thanks for providing the approximate animations to scale!

The controller who "cancelled" the clearance was so professional. His voice was so clear, showing ugency but not panic allowing you to hear the statement as a direction rather then a reaction. Wow. How that was called out saved the day. Awesome job.

And that is how you create paperwork. Better than an actual accident. Hopefully lessons were learned.

That was crazy! Hearing Delta's crew after... just wow. Well done to Delta and ATC here.

When you think about the sheer number of flights departing, arriving, and taxiing all at the same time, at all the airports in the world, it's truly incredible that this kind of thing doesn't happen more often. This really speaks to how professional and skilled the controllers are at their jobs, and how far we've come since the days of Tenerife. You could have 10 years of routine operations with no incidents, but I bet the one incident like this, even averted, makes everything flash before your eyes.

Imagine the air traffic controller ...he probably took the day off after that

That could be a very costly "Turn right, no, your other right" mistake. Such a simple mistake yet so deadly.

Just read about this, and was wondering when I'd get to see it. Glad nobody was hurt. Thanks for the great content!

Jetblue 918 almost got a spectacular horror show in front of them. Id love to hear the cockpit chatter of all three jets. Wow.

These come out so fast yet are made so well. Love the content

This video was very confusing. Might have been clearer to start with American 106's clearance to cross 31 at K. I thought the two aircraft being shown were American 185 and Delta 1943.

That could have been catastrophic.
