Thank goodness for those FedEx pilots having situational awareness and reacting quickly

I used to be a little nervous about flying, now that I’ve been watching many of these I’m staying on the ground.

Fedex: "Southwest abort"
Southwest: Hold my beer.

I would like to thank all the flight crews, pilots, air traffic controller and all who are responsible for our safety.🙏❤️

For those that don’t know, this is a re-creation of an actual event. The actual event had overcast clouds down to like 100-200 ft and like 1/2mile of visibility.

The tower could not see either plane, nor could either plane see each other at any time during the event. We know how far apart they were from transponder and radar data.

The southwest pilot STOMPED on that gas!!!

Southwest was given clearance to take off on 18L while at the same time fedex was given clearance to land on 18L. It was ATC’s fault.

So many times I have said there should be a rearview mirror beside the cockpit.

I was driving to work in Austin toward the airport at the time this was unfolding between 06:40 and 07:00am. Although I didn’t see the aircraft involved, it was still dark with considerable fog. This video depicts a bright sunny day which this was not. The FedEx pilot is the hero for having the situational awareness and avoided the accident at the last second. Although the video does show how close the two planes were which is probably close to accurate, it does mislead how and why it happened. The FedEx plane was in an auto land approach because of the low visibility and ATC cleared the the SWA plane to take off with the FedEx plane only 3 miles out on final with auto land.

the ATC fired should be fired and then fired again...

“Southwest you’re smoking the tires all the way down the runway!”

Fedex: "Southwest abort"
Southwest: 0 fucks given

So glad that there was a cameraman randomly standing on a restricted airfield to capture this whole thing!

[jenniferharris]

I clearly recognize the voice of the ATC that gave Southwest the ok to roll. He worked for years at IAH and I wondered what happened to him. I'm thinking now I know why he's gone.

[phillipneely]

Fedex crew was the only ones with sound judgment and situational awarenesss. Fedex saved the day!!

Imagine being in heavy clouds and following the runway approach lights down to '100 then crossing the threshold at 140 kts only to see another plane just in front of you on the runway accelerating at 60 kts. That's the stuff of nightmares.

[nabils]

If this was real, somebody would have been fired and Investigated

[jamesallen]

You never clear someone for takeoff with someone on 3 mile final. That’s insane.

[JFulls]

Should have been go around as soon as that southwest rolled past the hold short line ... cool recreation on MFS by the way 👍

[FINDTHEHIDDENTRUTH]

ATC interaction is unreal. Based on the speed of takeoff and landing how could you give clearance so close on an active runway
