I do not disagree. SA is so important in all aspects of flight and at all times. Once you expect and accept an intersection takeoff, you should be very cognizant at what's happening at the end of the runway. Pardon the pun but a red flag should go up. Busy airport, everyone is in a hurry, the RJ and Pilatus are rushing ( you can tell that just in the tone and cadence of their transmissions) however the tower is at fault. If you've been in a number of busy towers cabs, you know there is a lot of things going on around a controller that can cause distractions. A career (the controller's) is most likely shot to hell for a good while. And a bunch of paxs have had the piss scared out of them.
The PAA/SAS accident is a classic in all the things that can go wrong at an airport. Vick Grubbs and Roy Butler were good friends whom I flew with a great deal before and after that day. This incident has all those makeings.
