The airport has had a no good, very bad newscycle.
Even though no collision occurred, the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transit Board are both opening investigations.
Standard communications between controllers and pilots are usually a major safeguard against near misses like this one. They took on a heightened sense of importance after the 1977 Tenerife Disaster — a similar “runway incursion” in which the planes did crash, killing 583.In that crash, shoddy communication was partly to blame, along with confusing circumstances — a number of planes had been rerouted to a small airport following a bombing.
While decades of measures keep near misses rare, future efforts could bring them down even further — starting with design changes that eliminate runway crossings. At JFK, the two runways involved in the mishap, 31R and 4L are perpendicular. They sit on a grid of runways and taxiways each about as close together as streets in Manhattan.Many newer airports, Ressler said, are designed to avoid intersections entirely.
