One would think both pilots, or at least the FO would have looked in both directions EVEN if the tower cleared them to cross. Basic airmanship.

Wow! Who's in the flight deck of that A-340?! Certainly not two professional pilots..
Reminds me of a Volaris A-320 a few yrs ago that we were preceding all the way from arrival into ILS 25L in LAX. From about 40mi out, they were warned repeatedly by ATC that they appeared to be lining up for 25R. Each time they replied 'Royer'. Ended up landing erroneously on 25R in front of us. ATC gave them a # to call...curious if te ever even called it.

That's not as near a close call as it appears. The zoom lens compresses depth of field to make it appear they're on top of each other, but the aircraft that went around hadn't reached the threshold yet, and the aircraft that crossed was almost a mile from the threshold. Worth a go around certainly, but not "split second reaction saves terrified passengers from certain doom" material. It's a dramatic seeming video, suitable for short attention span viewers during a 30 second spot on the evening news to hold viewers over the commercial break. Meh.

True, probably not as dramatic as the video makes it seem, but clearly someone screwed up. The controller issued a inappropriate crossing clearance, or the pilots missed a hold short instruction; something. However, if the same situation occurred in IMC, the outcome may have been horrifically different.
