I think we have some other aviation fans in here.

Here's the story....a Russian Boeing 767 coming in for a landing when an Argentine A340 cruises right across the active runway. The Russians did a go-around, throttling up to avoid the imminent collision.

I wonder who was at fault, air traffic control or one of the pilots? My guess is air traffic control, or whoever controls the planes movements on the ground.

Glad the UTair pilot had enough time to react!

Looks like someone picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue.

The Argentine plane was grounded after the incident, for port side passenger seat replacements.
