Imagine two airplanes on a runway.
One is about to take off, and the other is coming in to land.
Suddenly, the landing plane touches down right in front of the plane taking off!
It was a close call, and the plane that was taking off had to stop quickly.
Everyone was safe.
Now, people are trying to figure out how this could have happened.
Maybe the air traffic controller gave the wrong instructions.

The Delta plane, carrying 144 passengers and 6 crew members, was about to take off.
