USA TODAY wants to hear your story:Mobility device lost or damaged by an airline?

The incident comes after a near-collision between two commercial airplanes at the New York City airport on Friday.

The FAA said preliminary information indicated that a Delta Air Lines Boeing 737 came to a stop on a runway “after air traffic controllers noticed another aircraft crossing the runway in front of the departing jetliner” at approximately 8:45 p.m. 

The Delta Air Lines flight stopped its takeoff roll approximately 1,000 feet before reaching where an American Airlines Boeing 777 crossed from an adjacent taxiway.
