Another Landing Forced to Go-Around After Plane was Cleared to Take-Off
"A Mesa Airlines flight crew was forced to abruptly halt a landing at California's Hollywood Burbank Airport on Wednesday after an air traffic controller cleared a plane to depart ahead of them, according to preliminary information obtained by NBC News."

Somebody tell me if all this berating Black people makes sense since most, if not all, the atc and pilots in these instances are white.
The rule is you don’t land on a runway if another airplane is on the runway. A landing aircraft iwon’t have the speed to catch up to an airplane that has lifted off and departing.
I can recall many years ago while working on a Marine Corps Air Traffic Control project when I toured the SFO tower. I asked the controller how he managed to space the incoming aircraft [RWYs 28L/R] with the departing aircraft on the intersecting runways [RWYs 1L/R]. It was very scientific. He stood in one particular spot and lined up a seam in the tower's window and if an arriving aircraft hadn't passed that seam he would clear the departing aircraft for takeoff. Of course, he assumed the departing aircraft would commence his roll within a very short time. Otherwise all bets were off.
will hear of these until the next major event occurs...then these fairly regular occurrences will be ignored by the media
When the head of the Department of Transportation makes statements like "Our freeway overpasses are racists" and "There are too many white construction workers", that troubles me.
Evidently your comment troubles people on this forum.
