Did it actually happen?
If not, someone did an awfully good job of faking about 10 minutes of ATC recordings.

The FAA did give this statement to at least one news organization:

"The pilot of Egypt Air 986 read back the taxi instructions correctly; however failed to turn as instructed. The aircraft crossed the hold 'short line' for Runway 22R. The hold 'short line' is 250 feet short of Runway 22R. Egypt Air 986 did not enter the runway. Air traffic control instructed Lufthansa 411 to stop its takeoff roll. Lufthansa 411 stopped before it reached the Egypt Air 986. The FAA investigation will determine the closest proximity of the aircraft.""

- but I don't know why the incident doesn't show up on FAA or NTSB billboards. No-injury, no-damage incident involving non-US operators (one from a country in political turmoil)?
