Near Miss at JFK

This is one of the worst runway setups in the nation today. When JFK is using 22R and 13L the risk of a collision is pretty high. Last year I was out on the airside shooting 22R arrivals and we witnessed a near miss. An China Air Cargo 747 executed a missed approached while a Virgin A340 was landing. Scariest thing I've ever seen relating to aviation...even the Port guy I was with got nervous. We were certain they were going to hit. With the congestion at JFK and the stress levels the boys in the tower are under this is going to be the next disaster in U.S Aviation for certain.

From the audio it sounds like the Cayman jet never called missed approach. And they really had no idea what the hell to do with him.Signatures are overrated

Also, I assume TCAS is disabled that close to the ground, is that correct?

Originally posted by PabloI agree, unless a runway incursion accident happens at LAX first. You have to wonder what, if any, procedures they have in place to avoid an accident under these circumstances (eg, not clearing a plane for takeoff until the plane heading for 22 lands). Given the controller's indecisiveness (no criticism intended), it seems that they just cross their fingers and hope for the best.

LAX is nearing completion of a perimieter taxiway which will allow aircraft to exit the runway and taxi to terminal without crossing any other runways.
DFW has a new red light system which turns on whenever there is an aircraft on a runway, to warn others to stay off.

Originally posted by AirfoilsguyIts a near hit, not a near miss. If it was a near miss they would have HIT.
The tern "NEAR" refers to the distance not almost.
The term "MISS" indicates did not hit.
Therefore they had a "NEAR MISS" means, they came close together but did not collide.Don
Standard practice for managers around the world:
Ready - Fire - Aim! DAMN! Missed again!
