The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a near-miss between two commercial airplanes at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Friday.
According to preliminary information from the FAA, a Delta Air Lines flight had to stop "its takeoff roll approximately 1,000 feet" from where an American Airlines flight had crossed the same runway in front of the Delta plane.
The close call occurred around 8:45 p.m. local time as the American Airlines plane, a Boeing 777, was traveling from an adjacent taxiway and air traffic controllers noticed the two approaching aircraft, the FAA said.
In audio posted on Twitter by flight watcher @xJonNYC, an air traffic controller appears to realize that the two planes are converging and tells the Delta plane, a Boeing 737, to stop.
A spokesperson for Delta said the safety of its customers and crew was the airline's top priority.

..."“Delta will work with and assist aviation authorities on a full review of flight 1943 on Jan. 13 regarding a successful aborted takeoff procedure at New York-JFK. We apologize to our customers for the inconvenience and delay of their travels,” a Delta spokesperson said in a statement.
American Air Lines would not comment on the incident, and said they’d defer all questions to the FAA.
