FAA investigating near miss on O'Hare runway last week

The United Express plane, traveling to Toronto, "had just begun to enter runway 28 Right" when the pilot of the American Eagle Embraer 145 steered around it and departed safely en route to Columbus, Ohio, Molinaro said. Sounds like the offending plane was not yet fully on the runway and the Eagle guy saw him and swerved around him and then flew away. At any rate, kudos to him! Night is the most hazardous time on the big multi-runway commercial airports. A fully functional taxi display (IPAD) or alert first officer would have prevented this occurrence. Loss of situational awareness is the cause and believe me I've had lapses in the thick of things. I believe it is the most prominent factor in modern era accidents. And the most difficult to eradicate!

For some reason could be Preacher might enlighten us on the facts here, taxi ways and runways seem to be confusing. Readouts are quick and contain lots of info depending on the airport. I was lucky enough not to fly into those in a light AC. But that brings to mind another problem with small AC. If the runway lights and or taxi way lights are off of the ground as some airports are its hard to pick out everything due to being much closer to the ground in say a Cessna 172 than in an airliner. Been there took off at night on the taxi way, they thanked me and asked that next time please use the runway.AAAAHHHH oops.
