It will be interesting to get the report on what happened. Both captain and co-pilot lined up on taxiway, thank goodness they pulled up and it wasn't some bizarre intentional germanwings situation.
Look at the glide slope of Air Canada, its would have landed its nose on the front of the third plane and ploughed into the last plane. Jesus, I can only imaging what the pilots in the third plane were thinking looking at a plane coming into land on their head.
John Ford He won’t be taking the upper fuselage off he’ll crush the first one, his momentum would turn the entire line into a pile of flaming metal.

Until they moved pieces around they weren’t aware that the 737 had landed on top of a SkyWest regional jet. The controller didn’t see the SkyWest jet that was given permission to land. As a result it was mandatory for commercial airports to have ground radar.
What's scary about this incident is there are two pilots at the controls, you would think at least one of them would notice the mistake. Both pilots must have been really fatigued.
The Air Canada pilot sounds like he was about to fall asleep. I mean, he sees 'lights' on the runaway, i.e. lights from a plane or a service vehicle or any other object that was obstructing the runaway, and he still pursues his landing. Never mind what the tower tells you, he would probably fly into a wall if the tower would said there is no wall. Also notice, the AC pilot says 'we see some lights on the runaway THERE'. He doesn't name the runaway.
1.) Two pilots perform the landing, both failed, perhaps something is wrong with other circumstances too? 2.) Runway L was under construction and had disabled lights. The crew obviously didn´t knew it and mistook Runway R for L and the taxiway for R. Crew and ATC - who of course didn´t have visual nor radar on that plane - believed that this plane is aproaching R. You cleary don´t know what you talk about and should refrain from doing so.
Don't taxiways have different lights than runways? Even a closed runway, it seems to me, should be lit up in some way that designates A) yes, this is a runway, and B) this is closed. so that the pilot wouldn't have mistaken the taxiway for the 2nd runway.
Correction: FDR data from AC759 proves it descended to about 60 feet at 0:42. It missed hitting the tailfin (almost 57 feet high ) of PAL115, the second plane in line, by 5 to 10 feet. This incident came terribly close to wiping out at least 3, or possibly 4, aircraft.
We all sound more or less often "less-motivated" like this on comms. No need to assume that somebody is on sleep deprivation because of this, doesn´t matter if its in this case true or not. Only blabbermouths do wild guessing like this.
@@mgt5126 but it's true tho. FAA reports indicate the captain was awake and flying for 19 hours, copilot for 12 hours with no sleep. On top of that, their body time was 3 am, since they live in Toronto. They were experiencing massive fatigue.
@@mgt5126 speaking of facepalm, yeah lets forget to read the notam saying 28L was closed and mistake charlie for 28R, and fly our fuckin' airplane into 3 others. that would have been one big barbecue. they were very groggy and didnt think 'lights on the runway' was something to initiate a go-around asap instead call the tower and ask? judgement is deserving
Situation Awareness was decisive in this episode: AC759 didn't notice it's mistaken approach and United-1 pilot showed to be focused beyond it's cockpit limitation... brilliant! United-1 pilots deserve a Medal of Honor (my opinion...)
When the Air Canada flight crew reported seeing lights on the "runway", the tower controller corrected them stating that the runway was clear of traffic. Right then and there, the controller should have questioned the pilot if he was sure he was lined up with runway 28R and not taxiway C which did have traffic on it. Conflicting information should have made both parties suspicious that something was wrong. I served as an air intercept controller in the military and that is what I would have done.
OK, let me get this right . . . the pilot sees "lights on the runway" and is going to just plow right into those lights because ATC told him he was cleared to land? WTF?
At least, they were at the right airport... "Pilots of U.S. commercial flights have either landed or almost touched down at the wrong airport at least 150 times over the past two decades, according to data compiled by The Associated Press"
I wonder if the controller got clued in when United Air (the anonymous guy who pipes in) said something about it. Good on that pilot for temporarily breaking radio etiquette to warn people of the danger.
The aerodrome ATCO who was handling visual approach for a runway was faced with a main choice : a standard go around for a missed approach but does this was panified by the crew...? or to give a radar clearance which means a coordination with the deparure sector...ATC is not an instant job apart for the medias...
I thought there would be a warning of like "terrain pull back" or sth like that on Air Canada's pilot system? Doesn't it warn if there is an object close?
The plane was coming in for a landing. I believe there is no warning if the plane is set up correctly for landing, and is approaching the ground at a normal rate.
Thank you, makes sense. May be they can implement another sensor for these kinda situations, just saying. Maybe pilots should have access to videos from cameras
There are lots of systems to give precision landings but from what's been said the plane was on a visual approach so they were flying by eye, not by instrument (i.e. they weren't using any high-tech devices/instruments to line up with the runway just good old eyesight - what you see is what you get).
Not entirely, as soon as the pilot told the ATC that he can see lights ON the runway, the ATC should have told him to go around. Yea the pilot was a idiot but the ATC could have seen this situation comming earlier
Should be the first lesson in pilot training - if something looks off, abort/go around. That would have saved the plane that crashed trying to takeoff in Kentucky, because they were on the wrong/shorter runway. They remarked how the lights looked wrong.
Only 8.8m separate ACA759 from PAL115 at the lowest point. With 2 other planes still behind, this could have been the worst disaster in aviation history!
It wasnt that long ago KLM flight 1369 took off from one of the taxiways at Schipol, imagine what could of happened if the taxiway was as full as in the Air Canada 759 incident/near miss.....?? Thank goodness that first pilot alerted others and atc to what was happening.
I learned early on as an Airline Pilot even if Visual Landing, to SET the ILS for the runway I am landing on....... this will keep you off the taxiway. I have never done it, but this is not the first time something like this has happened.. Regardless USE all your NAV you have...
Oh and I got info from one of my buddys and ik people won't believe me but wait until more news on this comes out but I was told by my buddy that there was a rookie pilot and a certified pilot. The rookie was flying and the cp (certified pilot) was saying " you need to abort the landing" the Rp (rookie pilot) was saying " I got this". After about 30 seconds the cp took over and saved the planes. The Rp was later informed of his mistake and was fired
The tower should have explained to the pilot that the lights that he saw were Planes on a TAXIWAY, and that the clear Runway is 1000 feet (or however far it was) to port (from the incoming Canada Air's orientation. Runway 28C was clear. The taxiway was not clear. Tower is responsible to guide the pilot.
Yes, I'm sure we all got a good laugh... but using Chinese names for idiotic pilots regardless of airline's origin is both very insensitive and discriminatory. When South Korea's Asiana Airline crashed at SFO on a clear day in 2010, I cried when I heard two students from Hangzhou were killed. Absolutely shocking that NO ONE in Asiana's cockpit were in control. All four should have lost their pilots license.
It's interesting how people go from pilot error resulting in a near miss to disaster scenarios to condemning the airline to political bullshit, all in one smooth sweep. The UA pilot's remark "where's this guy going?" and "He's lined up with Charlie" came at the last moment and may or may not have alerted the pilot; ATC certainly didn't. The pilot may just have realized his mistake in the nick of time, keeping in mind that a big plane doesn't respond instantly to pilot inputs.
Thats probably not how you spell Charlie no matter if is your name, who cares. But his prononciation is perfectly fine when it comes to Aviation English.

He was cleared for a visual approach. Had he remained on his IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) clearance, his instrumentation would have guided him to runway 28-Right. Should have been pretty obvious anyway, the progressive strobes would have been clearly visible on his left.
That right there was nearly the biggest air disaster in history.
