Around 7:40 a.m. yesterday morning at Reagan National Airport, ground control told Southwest flight 2936 to cross runway 4 while JetBlue flight 1554 was starting its takeoff. The entire thing is heard on tape of the interaction with a female air traffic controller SCREAMING "STOP! STOP!", ONe of the comments on teh Youtube video wrote "Controllers definitely messed up coordination up there. That quick "cross runway 4" during taxi instructions for Southwest, then Tower clearing Jetblue to take off... Also sounds like someone is in training in the tower? I beg familiar DCA pilots and controllers, if you're reading this, please email for further information on how operations work there when landing on 1 and departing on both 1 and 4."
"i guess we need a phone number" is the polite form of "i want to talk to your boss!"
