This video presents the critical ATC communications during an incident involving Alaska Airlines Flight 369 (Boeing 737 Max 9) and Southwest Airlines Flight 2029 (Boeing 737-700) at Nashville International Airport (BNA/KBNA), Tennessee, USA on September 13, 2024.

Key moments include:
1. Initial takeoff clearance for Alaska 369
2. Runway crossing clearance for Southwest 2029
3. Aborted takeoff call from Alaska 369
4. ATC cancelling takeoff clearance and providing new instructions
5. Coordination of Alaska 369's exit from the runway

NOTE: We do not have the ground ATC recording that would include communications with Southwest Airlines Flight 2029 (Boeing 737-700), which was reportedly cleared to cross the runway during this incident.

This condensed audio captures the exchanges between Nashville Tower, Alaska 369, and other aircraft in the vicinity as they manage a potential runway incursion and aborted takeoff. It showcases the rapid decision-making, clear communication, and coordination during a critical situation at a major airport.

This video aims to provide insights into ATC procedures, pilot responses, and emergency avoidance during unexpected incidents on the runway. We commend the flight crews and ATC for their effective handling of this challenging situation, which resulted in no injuries despite the potential danger.

Notable Incident Details:
1. Alaska 369 reached a speed of approximately 119mph before aborting takeoff
2. The rapid deceleration caused the aircraft's tires to deflate due to heat buildup
3. This tire deflation is a safety feature designed to dissipate energy during emergency stops

DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is based on ATC recordings and preliminary reports. Further details may emerge as the investigation into the incident progresses. The ATC communications presented in this video have been selectively edited to include only the most relevant exchanges. Some details, including precise locations, may not be entirely accurate.

This video is intended for educational purposes within the aviation community. We aim to provide awareness and safety in general aviation.
