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.
