The text is a transcript of a video that explains two near-collisions of airplanes at airports in the US. The first one happened in 2022 at San Francisco International Airport, when an Air Canada flight almost landed on a taxiway where four other planes were waiting to depart. The second one happened in 2023 at JFK Airport in New York City, when a Southwest flight took off on the same runway where a FedEx flight was about to land. The video analyzes the causes and consequences of these incidents, and compares them to other runway incursions that have occurred in the past. The video also promotes another video about the deadliest aviation accident in history, which happened in 1977 when two planes collided on the runway in Tenerife. The video is part of a Nebula original series called "Under Exposure", which explores topics that are too violent or too cinematic for YouTube.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. Air Canada Flight 759 almost landed on a taxiway with four other planes at San Francisco International Airport on July 7, 2017.
2. The pilots of Air Canada Flight 759 mistook the taxiway for runway 28 right, which was next to the closed runway 28 left.
3. The pilots of Air Canada Flight 759 missed the information about the runway closure in the NOTAM and did not use the instrument landing system to verify their approach.
4. The pilots of Air Canada Flight 759 aborted their landing after being alerted by the tower controller and the pilots of United Flight One, which was first in line on the taxiway.
5. The incident could have been the largest accident in general aviation history, with over 1,000 passengers at risk.
6. The National Transportation Safety Board released a list of recommendations to prevent similar incidents in the future, such as requiring visual approaches at night only when an adjacent runway is open and having two air traffic controllers on duty until the late night arrival rush is over.
