I think you mean BOS. Everybody is lucky the 737 crew saw the 330 and took evasive action. The problem there was two different frequencies for intersecting runways, so nobody could hear the other crew getting the clearance. That situation has been rectified so that you wil be on the same frequency and will be able to hear if to aircraft are given takeoff clc on intersecting runways. The use of different languages would negate this.

Also an incident in PVD a few years ago where one crew got lost in the dense ground fog and taxied onto the active runway. Another crew was cleared for takeoff but knew the airplane was lost in the fog and wisely declined to T/O. Avoiding a collision on the ground between a 737 and 757.

Paying attention to what is going on around you is good airmanship.
