Yikes!!

I haven;t heard anything yet about it.

If CNN reports it as a near miss, they we can assume they had about a mile and 500 feet in between.

No kidding, they are not as bad as Fox obviously, but cable news is all about entertainment.
Sounds like a good job by the SWA folks but they may need to write up the cockpit seat cushions!

'Close call' at IAH 2 weeks ago....

An aquaintance was in the jumpseat. Said it was a legit close call

If it was at 9L and 21R intersection then someone needs to be fired at Dtw. How many close calls are we going to have until someone gets killed again. Planes should not be taxing on 9L even if it didn't happen there I still feel strongly about it

My source is

My source is involved in the situation also, not cnn, but a player

Sounds to me this was as close as they come

Taxi slow, look at 10-9's super good, make extra money, people get to live, its a beautiful thing

Oh and one other thing, silence that cell phone!

Im guilty too of forgetting

Probably not 9L/21R. I can't imagine a 737 could rotate that fast.

A couple of cowboy Southwest types could, especially if they took the runway already doing 80 knots.

I'm a Republican and I don't care for they way Fox reports any airline incidents.

 

[Quimby]

I don't care for the way any TV news source reports on anything aviation (safety) related.

 

[RJLoser]

Anyone find this on liveatc?

 

[i fly boxes]

If it wasn't 21 then it had to have been 22l with go jet crossing at a5. I think V would also be too soon to rotate.

All of our major media are complicit in lying to and manipulating the American people for the benefit of the ultra wealthy. The major problem is that Americans do not read. A great many books have been written which describe what really happened during WWII, the JFK, RFK, MLK, Reagan shootings, 9/11, etc. A little reading will illuminate the true intent of our major media.

But wouldn't that just be more media hype the other way?

There is a lot of evidence out there that is not presented in the mainstream media.

For example, did you know that there was a massive spike in put options on UAL and AMR stock in the weeks before 9/11? Not on CAL or DAL or LUV, just UAL and AMR and it has never been investigated. Congress can easily find out who bought the options and could have called them in and asked what they knew, but they avoided the whole subject. Why would that be?

Did you know that the pentagon ground breaking was on 9/11/1941 and the ground breaking for the WTC and Statue of Liberty was on 8/5? Those dates are significant and related.

Lots of interesting stuff out there if you can turn off the TV and read.

Sorry for the thread hijack.

Cheers,
Scott

That was my point which I think you missed, every side spins their side, you need to investigate for yourself.

Because everyone in Congress was in on 9/11 and all made massive jack by buying puts in AMR and UAL, but not on anyone else. Michael Moore rote about it.

For unbiased and hard-hitting aviation journalism, I always rely on CREW TV.

 

[JumpersAway]

Sort of surprised that nobody has mentioned NPR. Not really interested in the news shows that provide "viewpoints" or debate. Just give me facts and I'll figure out an opinion on my own.

I searched through Live ATC and couldn't find a thing, regarding the near miss.

What is NPR? Oh that's right, they are further left of MSNBC and Move On!! I'd listen to Al Sharpton before NPR!! You are kidding yourself if you believe NPR isn't a spin organization. If NPR was so fair and upfront, why aren't their ratings much higher???

Just look at the ratings to see who people believe the most!!!

 

[shootr]

Ratings and spin are unrelated. Some may interpret that high ratings come from a network telling people what they want to hear.

Old white men yelling at a TV in agreement does not equal truth in reporting.

Very true. Bill O'Reilly's ratings are through the roof, even though zero factual information is actually presented during the broadcast.

 

[labbats]

I stick with the opinion sections of the newspapers. Even then, I'm amazed at how many times I nod and fully agree with someone's viewpoint one day only to see my attitude change the next day after reading several rebuttals.

People often mistake popularity for truth, FOX et al are "infotainment". Case in point, the Snowden affair, if you look at one single info point, the Verizon data monitoring debacle. That one issue is beyond all the other data exposures. Research TOR, lots of interesting stuff that Google et al don't include in their search databases.
