Both planes were cleared to be where they were headed. It’s pretty clear the “investigation” should be focused on the control tower.

Yes, this is a bad one. The plane on the runway was under air traffic control and the taxiing plane, which may have still been under ground control, was cleared to cross an active runway with a plane lined up for takeoff.

....this sort of thing is only going to get worse...did the ATC people communicate with the ground controllers, or what...? this could have been a disaster...
