It’s not that uncommon to be taking off into wind wind approaching downwind or vice versa due to the design of the pads or noise avoidance. In high volume movements this type of procedure can cause issues.

More than likely nothing to do with this incident. The point being there’s so many variables involved when finding the holes in the cheese. I have no doubt the investigation will find there will be numerous factors involved.

It’s important to remember we’re all human no one is perfect, every Pilot I know including myself have made mistakes and, if you haven’t you’re either full of **** or you not done much.

RIP to all the departed and my thoughts are with the driver of the aircraft that landed. We’ll done mate you did a good job getting your pax on the ground safe.
