I didn't even see him as i was looking at the dots. I don't understand that none of the two cockpit crew members do not listen or understand what ground is telling them to do.

Whole side of airports and traffic control that I've never even heard of before

I remember there was a post here a few years ago about someone watching a 747 attempt to land on top of another, and pull up like crazy.

The flight history got dug up, and you could watch two planes converge onto the same place, same time with just 100' altitude difference. Crazy.
