In reply to the discussion: Delta Airlines bribed doctor $74,000 to declare pilot mentally ill for reporting safety problems. [View all]Meowmee
(9,212 posts)22. Yes probably
The pilot saw the plane on the runway and aborted the landing we were close to the runway, We could see it and then all of a sudden we dramatically started going up- nothing was said for 10 minutes and then he came on air, he was clearly very upset and angry he told us what happened. So we had been cleared to land and there was another plane on the runway, I never got the full story of what happened but I can tell you I know from the speed the planes go and how close we were to the runway that this was not very far from all of us being killed and he saved us. The flight crew were very upset and everyone on the plane was nervous. It was half an hour before we finally landed. When I got off the plane the flight crew looked terrified and they said some thing like we got our skidmarks tonight, I cant remember exactly what they said but it was clear what had gone down.
