Southwest Air had to avoid a runway collision yesterday at Midway Airport in Chicago? What the hell is going on? Every day there is a crash or near miss, how did it get to this level of incompetence? Just another thing we can thank the last inept administration for.
The close call at Midway was the result of a Netjets pilot making a mistake while taxiing. The route that the ground controller assigned made it more dangerous than it needed to be, but it was pilot error. Not caused by the last (or current) administration.
One Plane Fag's opinion: This type of request coming from, either ATC to "Go around" or from a pilot "Going around", is to ensure enough separation, isn't an uncommon event. And an airliner on approach can sometimes observe 1-2 other planes depart from the same runway it's using, from the time it lines up with the approach runway. This Fox news report seems like they are trying to milk the unsafe narrative.

What about all the others?
All the ones that I've seen lately (upside down Delta flight, DC helicopter/jet crash) have been pilot error, not controller-related.
Omg. I’m flying in a month. Kind of worried.
