The reporting on this one is a little over the top, a pilot's mistake was mitigated by an on the ball controller, safely resolving the situation. Also its takeoff CLEARANCE not plans.

In fact, I'd argue that "Abort your takeoff" would be better, becuase there's plenty of benign things that can get canceled...
Or maybe even holy shit everyone stop!Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.

It's that careless indifference to fact checking and/or stretching of the facts for sensational effect that Fox is uniquely famous for.
The 777 held 37 feet short of 22R without being told to hold, probably because they noticed the runway edge lights and realized their error. Missing the taxiway was a serious error, but it was never close to an actual collision.

...but on the other hand, it's a fairly serious near miss- I am thinking 37 feet means that they were over the magical do not cross line.
They got through one slice of swiss cheese and sooner or later, the holes tend line up and bad $hit happens.Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.
