re: ‘Listen To The Screams’: Planes Nearly Collide On Reagan Airport Runway

Trip 7 Tiger would be better but here is what I see (as a once certified ATC).
The ground controller fricked up. She cleared the SWA flt all the way across the field, including crossing an active runway. She should have had the SWA hold short of crossing 4 and then made visual confirmation at a minimum that 4 was clear to cross.
There was way too much time for the situation to change for the SWA aircraft to taxi that far.
Just my $.02 worth. I only controlled airspace over battle fields and on temp airfields. Never wanted to be the ATC guy in a tower.

Please forgive my ignorance. So each jet does not have a local short range radar that ties to a central control and will alarm when things get out of hand?

There is always a she in these recent incidents. Whether it be a pilot or controller.
