Investigators detail American Airlines jet crossing runway in front of Delta plane at JFK.

Last year, American Airlines pilots accidentally landed on the wrong runway in New York, causing a collision with another plane. The captain was distracted and the co-pilot lost track of their plane's location. The incident was averted by an air traffic controller using an expletive, urging Delta Air Lines pilots to abort their takeoff. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the incident, which has not yet determined a probable cause.
