2007 San Francisco International Airport runway incursion
The 2007 San Francisco International Airport runway incursion occurred around 1:36 p.m. PDT on May 26, 2007 when SkyWest Airlines (operating as United Express) Flight 5741, an Embraer EMB 120 Brasilia turboprop aircraft, nearly collided with Republic Airlines (operating as Frontier Airlines) Flight 4912, an Embraer 170 Regional Jet, at the intersection of Runways 1L and 28R at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) in South San Francisco, California.


2007 San Francisco International Airport runway incursion
There were no injuries to occupants and no damage to either aircraft. Federal Aviation Administration officials described the runway incursion as the most serious incident of its kind in at least a decade, and the National Transportation Safety Board carried out an investigation into the incident.


2007 San Francisco International Airport runway incursion, Incident
The SkyWest aircraft was arriving at SFO after a flight from Modesto, California, and was cleared to land on Runway 28R. At the same time, the Republic Airlines aircraft, bound for Los Angeles, was instructed to taxi into position and hold on the intersecting Runway 1L. As the landing SkyWest aircraft passed the runway threshold, the Republic Airlines aircraft was cleared for takeoff. Local procedures and FAA Order 7110.65 require the local controller to wait until the landing aircraft has passed through the intersection before clearing an aircraft for takeoff on one of the intersecting runways.


2007 San Francisco International Airport runway incursion, Incident
Approximately 27 seconds later the Airport Movement Area Safety System issued an aural warning of an imminent collision, and the local controller instructed the SkyWest aircraft to stop, transmitting, "uh, sky-, skywest uhh fifty seven forty one HOLD HOLD HOLD." The SkyWest aircraft stopped in the intersection of Runways 1L and 28R, while the Republic Airlines flight lifted off and overflew it. The initial FAA tower report estimated that the aircraft missed colliding by 300 feet (91 m), but the SkyWest crew estimated the distance as 30 ft (9.1 m) to 50 ft (15 m).


2007 San Francisco International Airport runway incursion, Investigation
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) classified the incident as a Category A runway incursion, the most serious type. Category A events are those in which "[s]eparation decreases and participants take extreme action to narrowly avoid a collision, or the event results in a collision." Of the previous 15 runway incursions at SFO between 2001 and 2007, none had been more serious than Category C, which is defined as a situation in which "[s]eparation decreases but there is ample time and distance to avoid a potential collision."


2007 San Francisco International Airport runway incursion, Investigation
Commenting on the seriousness of the incident, National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) spokesman Ted Lopatkiewicz noted that "We investigate probably just a handful (of incursions) a year." The NTSB's investigation was completed in November 2007, concluding that the controller had failed to provide adequate separation between the two aircraft. FAA spokesman Ian Gregor said, "This wasn't a procedural issue, this was caused by a good controller with a lot of experience making a mistake," adding that since the incursion the controller, who had over 20 years of experience, was recertified.


2007 San Francisco International Airport runway incursion, SFO and AMASS
Runway safety has been a priority concern for both the FAA and NTSB; it has been on the NTSB's annual list of "Most Wanted Improvements" continuously since 1990.


2007 San Francisco International Airport runway incursion, SFO and AMASS
The Airport Movement Area Safety System (AMASS) is an airport surveillance radar system that is designed to detect potential runway conflicts and alert controllers. SFO was selected by the FAA for the first test installation of the AMASS system, where it became operational in June 2001 before its rollout to 40 airports around the U.S. AMASS is designed to provide an alert 15 seconds before aircraft reach the conflict point. The system performed as designed in the incident at SFO, though it did not alert in time to prevent the runway incursion.


2007 San Francisco International Airport runway incursion, SFO and AMASS
The NTSB believes that AMASS is insufficient to prevent runway incursions. The agency has often named runway safety and prevention of runway incursions on its annual "Most Wanted List" of transportation safety improvements.

2007 San Francisco mayoral election
Besides Newsom, other notable candidates included Josh Wolf, a journalist who was jailed for refusing to testify and turn over video evidence to a federal grand jury. Another candidate, "Chicken" John Rinaldi, qualified for public financing of his campaign but ran into procedural difficulties with San Francisco's Election Commission.


2007 San Francisco mayoral election
It was the first mayoral election in San Francisco history to use instant-runoff voting, also known as ranked-choice voting, so that there would be no need for a run-off, but a majority was reached in the first round and votes were not redistributed. Results of the election were not known for weeks because every ballot had to be hand-counted due to the long-running feud between the Elections Department of San Francisco and the California Secretary of State.


2007 San Francisco mayoral election, Issues
Many ongoing and emerging issues might have influenced this election, including:

2007 San Jose Grand Prix at Redback Raceway
The 2007 San Jose Grand Prix at Redback Raceway is the ninth round of the 2007 Champ Car World Series Season. It was held on July 29 at the Redback Raceway temporary street circuit, in San Jose, California.


2007 San Jose Grand Prix at Redback Raceway, Qualifying results
Sébastien Bourdais lead Friday's qualification session with a late fast lap near the end of qualifying. However he faded on Saturday due to some mechanical issues with his car and Justin Wilson posted the fast lap Saturday taking the pole. By virtue of his fast lap Friday Bourdais managed to maintain second position on the grid into the race.


2007 San Jose Grand Prix at Redback Raceway, Race Summary
The first two editions of the San Jose Grand Prix were mostly processional affairs with little to no passing. The 2007 edition, on the other hand, proved to be a very competitive affair with the winner fighting through the field from 15th position on the starting grid. The race was reminiscent of the Cleveland race where Paul Tracy rebounded from early contact and pit stops to win the race, except this race was held on a tight street circuit and not on Cleveland's wide open airport runways. The recent introduction of a painted white line in certain corners to visually enforce Champ Car's "no blocking" rule has resulted in the unintended but happy consequence of increasing the possibility of overtaking.


2007 San Jose Grand Prix at Redback Raceway, Race Summary
The standing start went off without a hitch but trouble hit at the Turn 1 hairpin, where a logjam developed in the rear of the field. Robert Doornbos lurched into the back of Jan Heylen's car knocking off his own front wing. Meanwhile, Sébastien Bourdais made a mistake in Turn 2, allowing Justin Wilson to take the lead. Doornbos and Heylen pitted under the yellow resulting from their contact.


2007 San Jose Grand Prix at Redback Raceway, Race Summary

Referee Smith initially awarded a free kick on the edge of the penalty area but changed his mind amid complaints from Dunfermline players and awarded a penalty kick instead. Stephen Glass took the penalty kick, hitting the ball past goalkeeper Main into the top corner of the goal to make the score 3–2. Dunfermline continued to pressure for an equalising goal and almost did so when St Johnstone defender Goran Stanić nearly scored an own goal after mis-hitting the ball but it rebounded off the crossbar. Despite Dunfermline's late improvement in form, St Johnstone held on to win the match and claim the first national cup trophy in their 123-year existence.
