CB pilot again! Almost identical to SQ006 but the opposite of it.
Air Canada pilot nearly LANDED on San Francisco Airport SFO TAXI WAY instead of Runway. SQ006 made TAKE OFF run on a CLOSED runway, and crashed.
There were 4 fully loaded with passengers jets on there if he hit those than all 5 flights are BBQ fucked spider! KNN 吃屎! Take away his flying license, he want land on TAXIWAY go drive Taxi!

‘Close to the greatest aviation disaster in history’: Air Canada flight nearly lands on crowded San Francisco taxiway
The U.S. Federal Aviation Authority says just before midnight on Friday, an Air Canada Airbus A320 was cleared to land, but the pilot “inadvertently” lined up instead for a taxiway where four fully-loaded airplanes full of passengers and gas were awaiting permission to take off

SAN FRANCISCO—In what one aviation expert called a near-miss of what could have been the largest aviation disaster ever, an Air Canada pilot on Friday narrowly avoided a tragic mistake: landing on the San Francisco International Airport taxiway instead of the appropriate runway.
Sitting on Taxiway C shortly before midnight were four fully-loaded airplanes full of passengers and gas awaiting permission to take off, according to the Federal Aviation Administration, which is investigating the “rare” incident. An air traffic controller sent the Air Canada Airbus 320 on a “go-around” — an unusual event where pilots must pull-up and circle around to try again — before landing safely, according to the federal agency.
FAA investigators are still trying to determine how close the Air Canada aircraft came to landing and potentially crashing into the four aircraft below, but the apparent pilot error already has the aviation industry buzzing.
“If it is true, what happened probably came close to the greatest aviation disaster in history,” said retired United Airlines Capt. Ross Aimer, CEO of Aero Consulting Experts. He said he’s been contacted by pilots from across the country about the incident.
“If you could imagine an Airbus colliding with four passenger aircraft wide bodies, full of fuel and passengers, then you can imagine how horrific this could have been,” he said.
The FAA said the plane made another approach and landed without incident.
The aviation agency said it is now investigating the distance between the Air Canada aircraft and the jets lined up on the taxiway.
“We are still investigating the circumstances and therefore have no additional information to offer,” said Air Canada spokesperson Peter Fitzpatrick.
Air Canada said 135 passengers and five crew members were aboard its plane, but gave little other information.
The San Francisco airport spokesperson referred inquiries to the FAA, saying the airport had no comment on the event.
The aircraft had been cleared to land on Runway 28R, which runs parallel with that taxiway, according to the FAA. The pilot was flying the plane manually on a clear night when he lined up wrong, the federal agency said.
“This is pretty huge. My buddies called and asked if I knew about it” Aimer said. “They’re a sitting duck on the taxiway. They can’t go anywhere.”
The worst accident in aviation history by loss of life happened in 1977, when two Boeing 747 jets collided on the runway on the Spanish Island of Tenerife, killing 583 people.
An audio recording of Friday’s incident, captured from the website liveatc.net and archived on the internet, reveals how the near-miss unfolded:
Air Canada pilot:And tower, just want to confirm this, Air Canada 759, we see some lights on the runway there, across the runway, can you confirm we’re clear to land?
Tower:Air Canada 759 confirmed cleared to land runway 28-right. There is no one on 28-right but you.
Air Canada pilot:OK, Air Canada 759
Unknown:Where is this guy going? He’s on the taxiway!
Tower:Air Canada, go around.
Air Canada pilot:Going around. Air Canada 759.
Tower:759, looks like you were lined up (inaudible) Fly heading 280. Climb maintain 3,000.
Air Canada pilot:Heading 280. 3,000. Air Canada 759.
United pilot:United One, Air Canada flew directly over us.
Control tower:Yeah, I saw that guys.

Air Canada flight almost lands on taxiway, narrowly avoids ‘greatest aviation disaster in history’

The Federal Aviation Administration is currently investigating an incident that could have resulted in “the greatest aviation disaster in history,” according to one expert.
Air Canada Flight 759, which took off from Toronto for San Francisco on Friday, July 7, nearly landed on a crowded taxiway — rather than its intended runway — when coming in for a landing at the San Francisco International Airport (SFO).
According to the FAA, the Airbus 320 had been cleared to land on SFO’s Runway 28R at 11:56 p.m., but the pilot accidentally approached a parallel taxiway. This particular taxiway, Taxiway C, contained four other aircraft waiting to take off, each fully fueled and filled with passengers.

“If it is true, what happened probably came close to the greatest aviation disaster in history,” said Ross Aimer, a retired United Airlines pilot and the CEO of Aero Consulting Experts, in a statement obtained by The San Jose Mercury News.
“If you could imagine an Airbus colliding with four passenger aircraft wide bodies, full of fuel and passengers, then you can imagine how horrific this could have been.”
An audio recording from the air traffic control tower reveals that the pilot realized something was amiss upon seeing “lights on the runway,” and asked for clarification on whether or not he was clear to land.
Traffic controllers quickly informed the pilot that there were no other aircraft on his runway, at which point another voice chimes in and asks, “Where’s this guy going? He’s on the taxiway.”
Air traffic control then tells the pilot to initiate a “go-around,” which is when a pilot circles the airport in order to line up for another landing.

A spokesman for Air Canada confirmed to Fox News that flight 759 landed without incident a little while later. The airline also confirmed that it is conducting its own investigation.
“Air Canada flight AC759 from Toronto was preparing to land at San Francisco airport Friday night when the aircraft initiated a go-around. The aircraft landed normally without incident,” wrote Air Canada in a statement.
“We are still investigating the circumstances and therefore have no additional information to offer.”
