The local ABC affiliate in NYC is reporting on their 11:00 PM news that a near collision occurred at JFK. Of course, all of the rhetoric about "speeding down runways" and "hurtling towards each other" have been broadcast on all of the advertisements during the shows prior to the broadcast.
Apparently an EVA 747 was landing, but the pilot decided to execute a missed approach, apparantly realizing he was landing long. An American Eagle flight landing on a perpindicular runway aborted his landing. The report did not identify the runways. One of the correspondents described the 747 as "loaded with passengers", which must have been pretty uncomfortable, given it was a cargo flight. Most of the story targeted the issues with ATC, and Senator Charles Schumer was shown decrying the FAA. Not sure how ATC could have avoided this. This was not a case of ATC missing a call, it was a case of a pilot making a last minute decision (right, wrong or indifferent) and another pilot reacting by going around also. I'm sure, given the current atmosphere, the news organizations will be all over these.
