American & Delta Jets Cross São Paulo Runway As LATAM A320 Begins Takeoff Without Clearance

A LATAM Airlines Airbus A320 that was set to depart from São Paulo/Guarulhos Governor André Franco Montoro International Airport (GRU) in Brazil this Saturday had to abort its takeoff due to conflicting taxiing traffic crossing the runway. The jet’s crew had been informed that their takeoff authorization had been canceled due to the presence of these aircraft, but began accelerating anyway, prompting panic.
