US Probing Additional Runway Incidents at SFO
FAA recorded 1,704 runway incursions in the FY just ended, including the recent ACA incident. FAA is looking into two additional incursions at SFO. Given the number of daily flights nationally, is 1,704 a relatively large number? (www.sfchronicle.com) 기타...

those reported numbers represent a relatively large number, given the skill levels of ;pilots and controllers. There are lapses of attention here that allow incursions to happen at all.
When a heavy comes soooo close to putting it's wheels down on FOUR MORE on a taxiway, and they allow the Air Canada pilots to depart on their next scheduled flight without being interviewed, drug or alcohol tested, and no review of the flight recorder, something smells fishy in Denmark.
But SFO is in USA
I am aware of that, thank you.
This AC incident took place at SFO.

Sorry, too early for thinking twice about responding.

It’s an obvious conspiracy. I blame the Tralfamadorians.
Years ago as a crew chief flying in Phrogs from Tustin MCAS(H), we did our damnedest to stay within the fenced in confines of our small base on take-off even though our airspace extended 2 blocks over from our base and was noted on the roof of a building in big yellow letters MCAS. The reason being, GA pilots (not all mind you) making incursions into our airspace as they flew the pattern at John Wayne there in Orange County.
What does this have to do with runway incursions? Pilots get caught up in too much and fail to pay attention to where they are and do not listen when they should. I am not blaming all pilots, heck, I wouldn't have been in the air if not for the pilots up front, but listening in on the radios, I heard much that clouds my senses on some of them. One thing I learned (and helped PUIs learn) is to pay attention to and follow the checklist.
