1. Runway Incursion between a United Airlines B757 and a Federal Express B727
   Theodore Francis Green State Airport
   Warwick, Rhode Island
   On December 6, 1999 2035 eastern standard time, United Airlines flight 1448 (UAL1448), a Boeing 757, and Federal Express flight 1662 (FDX1662), a Boeing 727, were involved in a runway incursion on runway 5R at Theodore Francis Green State Airport, Providence, Rhode Island.  No injuries were reported, and neither aircraft was damaged.  The crew of UAL1448 landed on runway 5R and, during taxi to the terminal, became disoriented and inadvertently turned on taxiway B, stopping on the edge of runway 5R.  FDX1662 departed runway 5R, passing very near UAL1448.  The incident occurred during night instrument meteorological conditions.  Reported visibility was ¼ mile, and the runway visibility range was 1,400 feet. More here!

2. Runway Incursion between an Air China B747 and a Korean Air B747
   Chicago O’Hare International Airport
   Chicago, Illinois
   On April 1, 1999, at 0220 central standard time, Air China flight 9018 (CCA9018), a Boeing 747, and Korean Air flight 36 (KAL36), also a Boeing 747, were involved in a near collision on runway 14R at O'Hare International Airport, Chicago, Illinois.  No injuries were reported, and neither aircraft was damaged.  CCA9018 landed on runway 14R and was instructed by the tower controller to exit the runway via a right turn on taxiway T-10 and a left turn on taxiway K, and to cross runway 27L to the cargo ramp.  The same controller cleared KAL36 for takeoff as the CCA9018 was exiting the runway.  CCA9018 turned right onto taxiway T-10 and left onto taxiway M instead of taxiway K.  CCA9018 entered runway 14R as KAL36 was taking off.  KAL36 flew over CCA9018 by 25 to 50 feet.  The incident occurred during night visual meteorological conditions.

3. Runway Incursion between an Asiana B747-400 and a Southwest B737
   Los Angeles International Airport
   Los Angeles, California
   On August 19, 2004, at 1455 Pacific daylight time, Asiana Airlines flight 204 (AAR204), a Boeing 747-400, and Southwest Airlines flight 440 (SWA440), a Boeing 737, were involved in a near collision on runway 24L at Los Angeles International Airport, Los Angeles, California. No injuries were reported, and neither aircraft was damaged.  The same tower controller cleared AAR204 to land on runway 24L and cleared SWA440 onto the same runway to depart.  AAR204 initiated a go-around and flew over SWA440 by about 200 feet.  The incident occurred during daylight visual meteorological conditions.

4. Runway Incursion between an Aer Lingus A330 and a US Airways B737
   General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport
   Boston, Massachusetts
   On June 9, 2005, about 1940 eastern daylight time, Aer Lingus flight 132 (EIN132), an Airbus 333, and US Airways flight 1170 (USA1170), a Boeing 737, were involved in a runway incursion at General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport, Boston, Massachusetts.  No injuries were reported, and neither aircraft was damaged. Both aircraft were under control of the Boston Air Traffic Control Tower; the local control west (LCW) controller was responsible for EIN132 and the local control east (LCE) controller was responsible for USA1170.  At 2339:10, LCW cleared EIN132 for takeoff from runway 15R.  Five seconds later, forgetting that he had released the runway to allow EIN 132 to depart, LCE cleared USA1170 for departure from runway 9.  The first officer on USA1170 saw EIN102 and pushed the control column forward to prevent the captain from taking off.  Once EIN132 had passed through the intersection, USA1170 became airborne.  The Airport Movement Area Safety System (AMASS) did not activate because in its configuration at that time, it was not designed to operate on intersecting runways due to the number of nuisance alerts. The incident occurred during daylight visual meteorological conditions. More here!
   
   
5. Runway Incursion between an Atlas Air B747 and a United Airlines B737
   Chicago O’Hare International Airport
   Chicago, Illinois
   On July 23, 2006, about 2200 central daylight time, Atlas Air flight 6972, (GTI6972), a Boeing 747-400, and United Airlines flight 1015 (UAL1015), a Boeing 737-300, were involved in a runway incursion at Chicago O’Hare International Airport, Chicago, Illinois.  No injuries were reported, and neither aircraft was damaged.  The local controller cleared GTI6972 to land on runway 14R and about 2 minutes later, cleared UAL1015 for takeoff from runway 27L.  UAL1015 almost collided with GTI6972 as it crossed runway 27L while on landing roll.  The captain of UAL1015 noticed GTI6972 and rotated 10 knots prior to Vr, flew over GTI6972, and missed it by about 120 feet.  At the time of the incident, the Airport Movement Area Safety System (AMASS) was in limited mode and did not alert.  The incident occurred during night visual meteorological conditions. More here!
   
   
6. Runway Incursion between a Key Lime Air SW4 and a Frontier A319
   Denver International Airport
   Denver, Colorado
   On January 5, 2007, at 0728 mountain standard time, Key Lime Air flight 4216 (LYM4216), an SW4, and Frontier flight 297 (FFT297), an A319, were involved in a near collision at Denver International Airport, Denver, Colorado. No injuries were reported, and neither aircraft was damaged.  The pilot of LYM4216 inadvertently entered runway 35L as FFT297 was on approach to the same runway. As FFT297 descended out of the clouds, the pilot noticed LYM4216 on the runway and executed a missed approach. The airplanes missed colliding by about 50 feet. The incident occurred in day instrument meteorological conditions.  Weather was reported as 600 overcast, 1100 broken, visibility 1/2 mile, light snow, mist, and the runway visual range was 5,500 feet.
