I think everything seems to happen more regularly than ever before but not because of frequency but reporting.

Internet and immediate reporting and twitter.
Plus every younger generation seems to think that things have never happened before and the world needs to know their discovery. Hence research that proves things every generation before them already knew.

Very close miss and quick go around decision by WN pilots at Chicago Midway today. Looked like the Southwest plane almost had wheels down before they pulled back up and overflew the Flexjet that crossed onto their runway. Seems the Flexjet crossed onto RWY 31C without clearance.

Video showed Southwest Flight 2504 nearly touching down on the runway before lifting off again to avoid a jet that entered the runway.

Mid-80s flying BME-PER in a Citation jet. About to put wheels on the runway PER when a light aircraft ventured out onto the runway. Pilot reacted simultaneously putting on the power and pulling the yoke back hard. Felt like we went vertical, though we didn't of-course.

Juan Browne Blancolirio analysis

The Flexjet guy not only disobeyed 'hold short' command that he acknowledged when he was told AND obviously didn't bother looking out the window as he crossed an active runway. Even if you don't think its active, don't you check? JB shows how dozy that pilot was from the outset.

I wonder if any of the pilots could tell us if it would be significantly slower/harder for a go around if the wheels are on the ground.
