'Stop, stop, stop': Narrow escape of jet carrying basketball team as another plane takes off

A charterd plane carrying the Gonzaga basket ball team had a narrow escape after the air traffic controller screamed 'stop, stop. stop' because another flight took off at the same time. The incident took place at

Los Angeles International Airport

and had it not been for the last-minute intervention of the ATC, a major mishap could have happened. The FAA has now launched an investigation into the incident.
According to reports, the chartered Embraer E136 jet, carrying the men's Gozaga basketball team, had just landed at LAX from Spokane, Washington.
The moment when the mishap was averted went viral as plane spotter Kevin Ray said he never heard an ATC controller telling a plane to stop like this. “Wow! In the years I’ve been doing this, I’ve never heard an ATC controller tell a plane to ‘Stop, stop, stop,’" Kevin Ray posted.

The FAA said it was investigating the close-call incident but added that the private jet did not cross the runway edge line when the incident took place.
“Air traffic controllers directed

Key Lime Air Flight 563

to hold short of crossing a runway at Los Angeles International Airport because a second aircraft was taking off from the runway at the time,” the FAA said in a statement.
“When the Embraer E135 jet proceeded to cross the hold bars, air traffic controllers told the pilots to stop. The jet never crossed the runway edge line… The FAA will investigate.”
The private jet, the Key Lime Air Flight, was carrying the basketball team ahead of their match with UCLA the following day. Gonzaga “expects to receive more information related to this event, and is grateful that the incident ended safely for all,” the university said in a statement shared with the Los Angeles Times.
