Excellent.

I did have to smile though when I read that it took an NTSB analysis to reveal this difference between FAA and ICAO practices, and a full safety analysis by the FAA before the difference was rectified.

Oh well, these people have to have something to do too, I guess.

And is it just me, or does the video contain a rather glaring error? It says something along the lines of "Line up and wait means that an aircraft can enter the runway and wait, while waiting for its departure clearance."

Shouldn't that be "take-off clearance"? Departure clearances, AFAIK, are already given by Clearance Delivery, or during taxi, and contain the stuff (mostly IFR) that happens after your wheels have left the runway.
