Safety at airlines is driven primarily by money and mandates. There is a system that would have given ample warning of the impending taxiway landing.

And it's big brother system.....

ADS-B has the capability of providing onboard incursion/collision alerts.

But, unfortunately, it will take another Tenerife to drive the mandates to equip.

As the worlds airline pilot population becomes less and less (average) experienced, particularly in second and third world countries, the risks will increase. Here is an area where technology can shine.

Let it.......
