Yeah, Jeez again. Couldn't figure out the audio on the you-tube clip. Kept telling Egypt to turn right on Bravo and hold short of Golf but the arrow they drew in there makes no sense.

Yeah there is better audio on the news of an air traffic controller going nuts screaming

LUFTHANSA CANCEL!

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Oh boy this could have bad.

Seems like the Egypt Air crew did not follow instructions from the tower. Kind of scary.

Shades of Tenerife....

Yeah apparently the Egypt Air flight kept coasting to the runway that the Lufthansa flight was going to take off on.

 

[Matt308]

Yeah this one has the better audio.

Thats the one from the news!

 

[Matt308]

Yeah I like the pilot at the end "I thought that was going to be career ending".

WOW.....

Turns out its not either pilots fault. The other audio I posted the female voice told Egypt Air to go to runway bravo....hmmm now which air traffic controller gave the wrong direction..

runways aren't named after letters only taxiways , runwats are named or numbered after the compass heading eg Rwy 36 has a compass heading of 360 degrees or Rwy 01 would be 010 degrees

 

[B-17engineer]

Typo, didn't mean runway...but its still pretty confusing listening to both again who is at fault..cause we need to wait for the official report.

Runway 22R is what Egypt was trying to cross but didn't have permission..

Wow, I had no idea there was logic behind it.
