According to the report, the Key Lime Air Embraer E135 aircraft carrying the Gonzaga team that arrived in LA for the away game against UCLA was crossing the runway for transfer after landing. At this time, a Delta Air Lines passenger plane was taking off. It was a situation where a major collision could have occurred on the runway. Fortunately, the air traffic controller who discovered this urgently ordered the chartered plane on which the Gonzaga University basketball team was riding to stop, thus avoiding the collision. Kevin Ray, who runs an aircraft-related YouTube channel, watched the video and said, “In all my years of work, this is the frist time I’ve heard an air traffic controller say ‘stop’ repeatedly like this.”
The scene where the plane barely avoided a collision was captured on video and reported by local media in the Los Angeles area. People, an American weekly magazine, said, “LAX is the busiest time of the year during the holiday season.From december 19 to January 2, the airport saw approximately 3.2 million passengers, and this incident, along with other aviation accidents in recent months, “It brings attention to airport safety issues,” he explained.
