Re: Runway Incursion at JFK 1/13/23

Why do people sound sure that the DL began to roll before AA106 began to cross? I haven’t heard any tapes that were confirmed time-aligned, but the tape I did hear splicing the ground and tower frequencies suggested that AA106 began to cross before takeoff clearance was given to the delta. If that’s...

Don’t focus too much on how good the connection is in the air. The phone continued to operate during and at least in the immediate aftermath of the crash, which would allow it to catch up sending any video packets that had not been successfully sent while in the air.
