Just days after the tragic plane crash in South Korea, an incident at Los Angeles International Airport shocked the public. A viral video captured the moment a Delta airline plane nearly collided with an aircraft carrying the Gonzaga University basketball team.

World-news reports this.

Around 4:30 p.m. local time, as Gonzaga’s Key Lime Air charter plane Flight 563 was moving down the runway, air traffic controllers began loudly shouting, “Stop, stop, stop!” So loud that you can hear it in a video posted online.

The plane, which had just landed in Washington before a game against UCLA, stopped at the last moment as Delta Flight 471, an Airbus A321, prepared to take off for Atlanta.

The footage shows the private jet slamming to a stop just seconds before Delta begins its climb into the air.

An aviation expert who witnessed the incident noted: “In all my years of observation, I have never heard a controller shout so much: “Stop, stop, stop!”

The FAA opened an investigation into the incident, confirming that air traffic controllers warned the pilot of the Gonzaga plane to stay away from the runway. As the private jet began to move forward, controllers immediately ordered the pilot to stop, just as Delta was gaining altitude.

“When the Embraer E135 aircraft crossed the hold line, air traffic controllers ordered the pilots to stop. Air traffic controllers instructed Key Lime Air charter flight 563 not to proceed on the runway as a second aircraft was ready to take off. And the plane did not cross the edge of the runway,” an FAA spokesman told NBC News.

Gonzaga University later confirmed that the Embraer ERJ-135, despite the dangerous situation, took off on schedule without delays.

This incident comes after the tragic Jeju Air crash in South Korea, which killed 179 people, and the disaster in Kazakhstan, which killed 38 people.
