At the National Championship Air Races in Reno, Nevada this past Sunday – an event where planes race each other thousands of feet up in the air – pilot Thom Richard noticed that something was amiss with his engine while on the runway. Following protocol, Richard signaled that something was wrong with his plane, killed the engine, and opened up his canopy. Now normally, all of the other pilots on the runway should have been made aware of the situation so that they could keep their planes at bay and let Richard get out of harms way. Unfortunately, not all the planes on the runway received the message. Before you know it, a plane was speeding down the runway, barreling towards Richard who at this point was effectively helpless.
