A frightening scene played out at John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California when a car suddenly entered an active taxiway and sped past several aircraft preparing for departure.
Rijken Vanderweide, who recorder the video below, said:
In radio recordings released after the incident, an air traffic controller can be heard warning a Southwest Airlines crew to hold position. The controller stated, “Southwest 1057 hold position, there is a high speed chase on the taxiway,” which underscores how alarming the situation was in real time.
