"Southwest flight 3828 was cleared for takeoff and started on the runway, but simultaneously Delta Air Lines 1328 also began on an intersecting runway without proper clearance according to a statement released by the FAA."

Okay, serious subject here, and thank God no one was hurt, but that was funny.
