TL;DR Summary
Two pilots aborted landings at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) on May 19 after spotting a Southwest Airlines plane on their runway, leading to calls for an investigation by aviation experts. The incidents caught the attention of a Bay Area congressman who has been fighting for increased aviation safety measures since 2017, when SFO nearly became the scene of what could have been the deadliest accident in aviation history. The FAA said neither incident was a "runway incursion."
