Not well phrased RT in my book. "He's ON the taxiway" sounds more like giving a GROUND position... on the taxiway, as opposed to 'holding at...' or 'on the ramp' etc. That wouldn't perk my ears up to anything like the same extent as "He's LANDING on the taxiway!"

As for the video, words fail me. Well they don't fail me, but if I used the words that come to mind I would get severely moderated.
