Someone is going to receive a nasty email from the FAA.
Good on the Southwest Airlines pilot for averting a billion dollar disaster.

Email is an understatement.
The flight crew is going to be having a “heart to heart” talk with an FAA inspector!
Either by the 1-800 number or or getting pulled into an office along with the chief pilot of operations!!
Either way,this is not going to end well!!hotrod1653, Speedy356, Flat Earth Trucker and 4 others Thank this. -

The way I see it, it would take a miracle for there to be any survivors had those two aircraft collided with what I assume is an outgoing airplane fully fueled and taxiing to its runway being struck by the Southwest airliner landing at speeds between 140-180 mph.
There would be the initial impact, an ensuing fireball, then wreckage that is still traveling over 100 mph ending up God knows where, possibly striking a building, ground personnel, or yet another aircraft.
I don't know who screwed up, but their ### is in a sling. -
Another thing to remember is that Midway Airport is surrounded by mostly a residential area. If any wreckage breached the noise barriers you would possibly be looking at a potential mass casualty event!
