Delta Flight Aborts Takeoff Due to Taxiway Incident at New Orleans Airport

Delta flight 1482 was forced to reject takeoff after another aircraft crossed the taxiway. The incident led to the cancellation of the flight and its subsequent redeye. This is one of several recent incidents highlighting the broken air traffic control system and the need for reform. An FAA spokesperson stated that the takeoff clearance was cancelled out of an abundance of caution after a Learjet made a wrong turn onto a taxiway.
