Dont you know how to hold quietly a camera ? Its always moving. You suck
-
Swiss had plenty of time to go around, no way he would have just landed on swiss, BA probably miss understood the tower.
-
People that stand around filming airplanes or trains are weird. And yes, I also read BACON!
-
Lol at the start i though "Bacon?" hahaha
-
Seems to me there should've been a simultaneous order for the BA pilot to clear the runway AND for the Swiss plane to go around. I'm surprised the latter was allowed to land given there wasn't much margin for error.

@10khampton0728 i disagree thats to close,i mean the pilot aint got mirrors so he couldnt see any danger.he's gotta rely on the tower...too close

I'm an aerodrome controller-the issue here was runway separation. On a day like this the reduced runway separation requirements between an arriving and departing aircraft is that the departing aircraft needs to "be airborne and past the point of expected rollout" of the arriving aircraft, before the arriving aircraft crosses the threshold. In this situation, had the departing aircraft been allowed to continue, there would have been a loss of separation. Good call by the controller.

Has anyone else read BACON on the plane at the beginning of the video?

The swiss BAE would go around!
The inbound Swiss had PLENTY of time to "Go Around". It would have never have "Landed on top" of the BA flight. Maybe if there was extreme low viability... Also, im thinking BA may have misunderstood tower and thought he was cleared for take off, then when tower noticed he was rolling told him to abort and exit..??Who knows, Im just happy every one is SAFE!

@jordangmagic Yes but if you watch closely, the plane had alreadu taxiid into position and powered up for take-off before leaving the runway again going in a full circle back to where he started in the waiting area. Thanks for the comment though.
