I don't know if it was an error by the ATC who cleared the AR to cross the active, or by the pilots of the AR that crossed without a clearance.
But it was BIG and potentially disastrous error.
All that said, it was not that close.
The AR is crossing the active several thousand of feet past the threshold.
And the UT was maybe 100ft up and not yet overflying the threshold when started the go-around.
Good move by AA to use for this incident an airplane fully in SkyTeam livery rather than AA livery. Less bad image for the airline.

Radar data confirm the Boeing was on short final descending through about 200 feet AGL (less than 20 seconds from touch down, about 1.7nm/40 seconds laterally from the Airbus) when they initiated the go-around.
Aena, the airport operator and ATC service provider, stated that the UTAir Boeing could have continued the landing without any danger, the separation was sufficient. Neither company filed any safety report (editorial note: this statement, although not expressis verbis stating this, suggests that the Airbus was cleared to cross the runway).
If the UTAir was already cleared to land, then that's wrong. No other vehicle can be on, enter, or cross the runway when an airplane is cleared to land on it.
On the other hand, it's not so strange to receive an advice from the ATC like "XYZ, expect clearance to land above the numbers", meaning that there is someone on the runway which is expected to clear it just shy of your landing. This could have been the case here, although I doubt it.
From the same AvHerald report:
Runway 02 is normally not used and inactive. Taxiways K,E,D,M,N,T and S thus usually can be used without observing the holding points protecting runway 02. The habit of taxiing across runway 02 without paying attention to the holding points for runway 02 has already caused a number of runway incursions.

Also, from my impression in the video, the AA-plane accelerated acutely while crossing the runway as if they were aware of the danger coming from the right (of the plane). Is my observation right?

My best (and only) guess is this:

Originally posted by Leftseat86 View PostIsn't that a strange taxi clearance if runway 02 is in use? Wouldn't they taxi up echo and only cross at AA?
