There’s a reason we have not had a major aviation disaster in so long. It’s because pilots and crews are very well trained, yes, we have had some events that would be considered close calls but very skilled and well trained pilots have been preventing an actual accident from occurring. Great job!
I’m assuming when you say “we” you mean the western world, particularly the US, and commercial passenger flights as well. Because there has been many disastrous commercial passenger crashes in other parts of the world in the last decade. There has also been a few cargo crashes in the west, note the Amazon cargo plane crash one in 2019.
@@Skikyro and commercial passenger flights is a bad term to use, anyone who pays money to fly on an airplane would be considered a commercial passenger flight.

nonsense. We've been very close to disaster and only avoided them by the grace of god and good situational awareness of some of the pilots involved. The fedex/southwest incident was entirely the fault of the air traffic controller who gave clearance to the southwest plane despite the fedex plane being on final for a cat III ILS approach and was cleared to land. That southwest plane should never have been allowed onto the runway in that situation. That showed extremely poor training of the ATC, which is not at all reassuring.

Dang man! Only get so many of these before a bunch of people die! I understand these near misses show everyone where they’re going wrong, and I’m glad they’re on top of it.
We are just one accident away from what could be the worst aviation accident on U.S. soil to date. The catastrophe at Tenerife in the 1970's has brought the terrible realization of two large passenger planes colliding on a runway with hundreds dead. These recent close calls could be attributed to the shortage of senior pilots who took early retirement during the Covid 19 pandemic and now more junior less experienced pilots filling the gaps. The airlines are in a massive hiring frenzy and the situation could get much worse as pilots enter the cockpit with less experience.
@@jovontenicoles1128 It doesn't make any difference. If a small plane collides with a large plane or two large planes collide. The death toll will still be catastrophic.
What do u mean? Close calls? Yes and no. The fact is after Tenerife there's no one single serious accident of that type in almost 50 years. (Correct me if I'm wrong). That means that the world of aviation is incredible safe
@@ivanz3222 there were plenty of similar disasters after Tenerife. See linate airport disaster, or the one in LA in 1991. Tenerife lessons were not learnt by everyone quickly
@@usedsubcompact1369 we got ground radar with warnings for the Tower, maps on airplanes, audible warnings in airplanes "approaching runway XY", signs on each runway entry and often even flashing yellow traffic lights. AND pilots get trained that they need a specific clearance if entering a runway and an additional clearance to take off. Even the words "landing", "take-off" and "cross" are not used in the ATC terminology in any other context - to avoid confusing clearances with other things. Sooo... what else should we add/change? 🤔
@@f3nd13y yeah, that's true. However ground radar can easily pickup that an airplane is starting a takeoff roll and thus the controller can stop it in such a case where a landing clearance for an intersecting runway has been given. This lesson has been learned by the Teneriffa accident, that ground radar is essential. However, the controller cannot stop a plane starts crossing a runway fast enough, if they do this without permission. So a plane on a takeoff roll may not be able to stop. Only luck prevented the last close call of that type. The video references multiple close calls this year - that's why I wrote my comment.
All communications between ground, tower, approach and departure are given to the pilot and the pilot is to repeat the information back correctly or be given the information again until they repeat it correctly. Class B airports like Boston are very busy and you must be on your game as a pilot to be there.
It's the leftist marxist communist "biden" admin hiring people based on skin color ( non whites only ) and sexual orientation ( non straight cisgendered christians only ) instead of hiring based on qualifications.
I was on the ABIA cargo ramp in Austin working as a GSE lead when FEDEX and SW nearly collided 😵💫😵💫😵💫 Definitely sketchy with the dense low layer of fog that typically hangs around during the early morning hours 😮💨😶🌫️
I think there needs to be a system that would allow only one airplane to be on the runway and on the final approach to it at the same time. If there's an aircraft 30 seconds away from landing and another one rolls on the runway, just blast a loud horn in both aircraft and in the control tower. There are runway status lights in some airports already, but they are not enough apparently.
We are in trouble if air traffic is starting to look like road traffic, where i..... are trying to save a couple of seconds or minutes of their travel time.
So they could not have red stop lights before the runway activated by ATC. Maybe if ATC slowed down and spoke in a timely manner and the pilots were not looking and doing other things the system would work better. The Pilot did not read back ATC instructions to hold so traffic could land. The Pilot did not get a takeoff clearance he was wrong but the system is going to fail someone soon.
There are already flashing yellow lights on the runways to show that you are entering an active runway and ATC talks quick because airports are busy and air traffic controller at times can have multiple planes at once that they need to keep an eye on or communicate with
So you're telling me it's a better system to have some red lights, placed somewhere along a 10,000 foot runway, where when ATC sees a conflict, they have to find the red lights for that runway, turn them on, hope the crew focused on landing sees them, and responds in time? Or how about just clicking the mic in their hand and saying "Go Around." There's already runway Status Lights. There's ATC with numerous systems. There's 2 crews watching for traffic. The system is fine is working, and no pilot is concerned about ATC "talking too fast."
"Are we safe?" Have you seen the job the transportation secretary is doing. They just grounded planes for the 1st time since 9/11 which was 1st ever. So no its not safe
its terrifying how we have close calls of planes landing/taking off and also concerning is shuttle busses that wiz past planes at airports one such incedent happened that a plane crashed into a bus there has to be more safety procedures put in place to prevent these things
I am not familiar with ATC and pilot protocols but I believe they always perform 3-way safety communication, right? I wonder if ATC has to broadcast only one time on close call or they repeat the broadcast multiple times until close call is clear or pilot confirm. Could there be also a possibility of overlapping transmission if ATC and pilot broadcast at the same time?
It has always happened every day... and there are systems that keep people safe. The difference is that you're HEARING about it every day now. The media has decided you need to freak out over something new. This is it, for this month. Next month, maybe there will be a new school shooting or Asian hate crime.. but for today, it's airplanes sharing runways.
These are something that should be automated. It's just a matter of listening, understanding and following commands, something that computer can do safer than human.
Yeah that’s not gonna work. I’m sure the FAA would be more than happy to not have to pay any controllers if they could just have a computer run it all.
Why is this happening? Due to the pilot shortage, certifications and training requirements have literally been reduced for pilots in training. This is the result.
You couldn't be farther from the truth. Hildebrand and Schumer sponsored the bill, which requires 1500 hours flight time before a pilot can get their atp license. This has led to the pilot shortage almost single-handedly. Along that career path if someone develops a health issue, their career is gone in an instant. It's a big gamble for one's career.
@@kilobravo2373 The shortage started long before the 1500 hour rule. Did it help? No. But the underlying cause has always been high entry cost and low entry pay
Jesus! Another one?! Is there a nationwide prank or challenge amongst airline pilots and air traffic control that we don't know about to see who can have the most amount of close calls this year?!
Kinda shows also how bad the practice is of giving landing clearances if a runway is not (yet) clear. Not contributing to these incidences shown, but is reducing the safety margins, making those incidents more likely.
Dude. What is going on? The amount of near-crashes with AMERICAN planes is absolutely unprecedented. And it feels like it’s being swept under the rug? It’s just insane how this has been a series of back-to-back-to-back events.
Just the opposite - it is being dragged from under the rug. This happens all the time and there are systems in place that keep people safe. None of these resulted in an accident - the systems work. The media want you to freak out and this is all they have. Maybe you'll get lucky and there will be another mass shooting soon so you'll feel safe to fly again!
Go arounds happen everyday on all kinds of airlines and planes. This is very common but the news has nothing to report on so they act like something this common is extremely unprecedented and becoming a problem.
Getting safer because of the close calls... Well that may be so... But if there's another tenerife with today's tech that's completely unacceptable... Should be happening less.
Calm down, you don't think a landing pilot keeps an eye out, regardless of what the tower is telling him? I get that it's big news...., but big whoop, he had to make a go around.
There's no excuse for this sort of competency. What did we learn from the very beginning. Dont even move until you're cleared. These are jet Pilots they're not flying ultralights without a license. The FAA should pull his /her ticket. Go plow a field where you're not going to hurt somebody.

Also can we talk about the animation of that JetBlue airbus pretending to be a C130 diving for the runway.
