what the communications were, what the instructions were between the tower and the airplane. that is something they really have to look into, especially, when you consider the fact that in the u.s., there has been close call after close call. we thought it was a 2023 problem, and it seems to be continuing into 2024. in the u.s., there have been seven of these runway incursions that have not resulted in fatalities. in 2023, jfk, burbank, honolulu, austin, that was one of the closest ones, and so this has a lot of those red flags, but ultimately, it came to a serious and fatal crash. to that point, listen, i think so often when we are judging a flight crew, we are thinking about hospitality, but that is not, obviously, the name of the game here. that s not what is most important, and it s just amazing that they were able to get this almost 400 people
extremely rare, i m sure people heard of the 1977 crashed in a ten reef, which is still one of the worst losses of life in aviation emma thankfully many years ago, but as a result of that out of work done on what we call runway incursions where aircraft get on active runway where aircraft get on active runway where they shouldn t be. lots of things like the surface movement radar and other applications which the airport did have to prevent that. but in this instance the aircraft was cleared to land and wasn t actually on the runway so in that respect it may have made a difference. that respect it may have made a difference- difference. the difference in the -e of difference. the difference in the type of aircraft difference. the difference in the type of aircraft respondents - difference. the difference in the type of aircraft respondents a i type of aircraft respondents a different type of situation, this is a visit airport but usually continuous landing of passenger planes and tra

a testament as well. so, this is really something that was a success, although in the grand scheme it s very sad that six people are on board that dash 8, one was still in critical condition, five are dead. but it really shows that these things can happen successfully. and it s also a warning sign to aviation around the world, especially considering the fact that we have had so many of these runway incursions here in the united states, i think about seven have been under investigation by the national transportation safety board. it was a real incident, real spade of incidents in 2023. so this may sort of reunderscore the need to up safety in the u.s. in japan, the regulations are a bit different. this would be something here in the u.s., of course, aviation regulators need to take a big, hard look at. thankfully no collisions here. pete muntean, thank you so much. we ll continue to keep you
saw in this most recent incident. they are known efficiently as runway incursions, and in the u.s., they are so serious that the ntsb in the u.s. has investigated seven of them over the course of 2023, and we thought that it was a problem in the last year, and now it appears worldwide continuing this year, rahel. pete, it is so quickly and remarkable that everybody is going to be off of the passenger flight, and so quickly within 90 seconds, and what are the takeaways for the passengers in terms of how quickly they are able to evacuate and get there safely. first and foremost congratulations to the crew, and all of the crew and not just the pilots, but the flight att attendants, because it is a wide body airplane, and it takes a while to evacuate, and it is incredibly complicated and you have to have spatial awareness and the crew who practices it over and over again not only in the airplane, but in static
