Terrifying footage shows a Delta flight nearly colliding with a plane carrying the Gonzaga University men's basketball team at LAX. Air traffic controllers issued urgent warnings to prevent a catastrophic crash.
Harrowing footage captured the moment a Delta flight nearly crashed into the Gonzaga University basketball team plane on the runway at Los Angeles International Airport. An air-traffic controller can be heard yelling at the plane carrying the men’s team as it prepares to cross a runway at LAX around 4:30 p.m. Friday. An Airbus A321 comes barreling up the runway at full speed and lifts off. Two planes nearly collided at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday.
One of the planes was carrying the Gonzaga men’s basketball team. A plane-spotter who was filming the runway and uploaded the video to Airline Videos on YouTube could be heard exclaiming just after the near-miss. “In the years I’ve been doing this, I’ve never heard a ATC controller tell a plane to ‘Stop, stop, stop,’” the plane spotter added as the private jet kept rolling once the runway was clear. Air traffic controllers directed Key Lime Air Flight 563 to hold short of crossing a runway at Los Angeles International Airport because a second aircraft was taking off from the runway at the time. When the Embraer E135 jet proceeded to cross the hold bars, air traffic controllers told the pilots to stop. The jet never crossed the runway edge line. Gonzaga’s plane – a chartered Embraer ERJ-135, according to FlightAware – had just landed from Washington ahead of a game against UCLA
