This has a couple great illustrations of incursions.

And by some strange coincidence, neither of the planes involved were GA.

Remember that the deadliest aircraft accident in history was a runway incursion.

Of two airliners, nonetheless.

Remember that the deadliest aircraft accident in history was a runway incursion.

And, completely preventable by good communication.

I must be missing something. That video is of a gear up landing at Crystal River Airport. Did you just grab the wrong link or did CNN pull a fast one?

That happened to me too - if you look at the other videos down at the bottom of the page, the incursions one is an option.

Got it. Thanks PJ

I corrected the original link. For some reason, when you select one of the other videos, Java keeps the prior link still showing in the address bar. I had to do some playing to get the right one to work.

JavaScript and Ajax, not Java. JavaScript is almost completely unrelated to Java. Sun and Netscape made a deal way back in the day and renamed LiveScript.

Ok...if it's a "Near Miss" wouldn't that mean they hit?? (It nearly missed, implies that it did not, in fact, miss...leaving only a collision as the result). I know this is a controversial point, but I still think I'm right.

You should apply with the FAA in upper management.
