I heard something on the the radio about the Otter and i thought i heard them say to continue holding short... but he didnt. The CRJ was just about to cross the threshold when the Otter taxied out and applied t/o power. By this time the CRJ realized what was going on and executed a go around. It was damn close... probably within a 1000 feet. Tower went nuts... I wonder what will happen to the Otter pilot? I know the guy and I couldnt bring myself to ask him when he got back. How could you not even look down final?? Coulda been a real bad day today.
Im surprised...no media coverage.
