Here's an article about a crash that didn't happen, to two planes on two different runways, although apparently one is in the take-off line of the other, where there were no injuries or damages to either aircraft that didn't crash into each other, with speculation about a controller error, and no NTSB report yet issued.
I love Wikipedia, Britannica eat your hear out.
Republic Airlines flight 4912 & SkyWest Airlines flight 5741
How common is this type of situation? Are there any other article on similar situations?
Add a diagram, and merge and redirect with [[runway incursion]]? The article does provide a useful description of what seems to be accurately described as a severe runway incursion (someone with more knowledge of the terminology feel free to correct). I found it interesting to that extent.
Hmm, thinking more about this it is also a good example of the use of [[AMASS]]. If someone is reading about AMASS, and clicks on [[SkyWest Airlines flight 5741]] for an example, would they prefer to be linked to an article this particular incident, or to an article on [[runway incursion]]? Probably the former.
I think I'd say keep, or else merge and redirect with [[runway incursion]]. Outright deletion would seriously detract from the encyclopedia for those who want to know more about [[AMASS]] and/or [[runway incursion]]s.
