It doesn't get any closer than that. Pure luck the airborne aircraft was still flyable. Just pure dumb luck.
I don't know if this was a factor but Corporate Operators are having a hard time finding and keeping pilots at a time when someone can hold Captain and make $300K+/yr with just a year's seniority at UAL and Delta.
Some are really having to scrap the bottom of the barrel.

Is it just me, or did that alfalfa pilot have a bit of an attitude after (allegedly) DEPARTING WITHOUT CLEARANCE?
"We can't do that.... YOU GUYS cleared somebody to takeoff or land, and we hit 'em"
Nothing like a good offense!
I'm tellin' ya', man... mushrooms and planes don't mix.

So, not only did these pilots take off without a clearance, but they missed two calls to stop their takeoff roll because they were "distracted" by a rudder bias alert, as well as a pitch trim alert.....that they decided to fix on the roll. GA in a nutshell.

And subsequently missed those abort calls because they had 2 failures.
And still decide to continue the take off.
I did about 7 years of ACMI abroad, and 8 in 91k, currently 10+ in 121. Flew with 1 guy that this would have happened to, when I started flying 25 years ago, as a very junior FO. That is still 1 too many, but I don't think this would be normal in 135.
