Around 4:30 p.m. Friday, air traffic controllers directed a chartered flight that had just arrived from Spokane, Wash., to hold short of crossing a runway where a second plane was departing, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

When the Embraer E135 jet operated by Colorado-based Key Lime Air “proceeded to cross the hold bars, air traffic controllers told the pilots to stop,” the FAA said in a statement.

Plane spotter Kevin Ray, who created the YouTube channel where the video was posted, can be heard exclaiming with surprise.

Wow! In the years I’ve been doing this, I’ve never heard a ATC controller tell a plane to ‘Stop, stop, stop,'” he says in the video.

The jet never crossed the runway edge line,” the FAA said.

The federal agency said it will investigate the incident.
