NTSB Investigates JFK Near-Miss After American 777 Crosses Runway in Front of Air Canada Jet
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating a serious runway incursion at New York's JFK Airport. The incident occurred on April 17th when an American Airlines Boeing 777 crossed a runway without air traffic control clearance. This action put it in the path of a departing Air Canada Express Embraer E175. The two aircraft came within an estimated 350 feet of each other, forcing the Air Canada crew to take evasive action. The NTSB's preliminary report notes that the cockpit voice recorder on the American flight had been overwritten as the flight continued to London.
