I was almost involved in an accident tonight that would have made the national news!
I was towing a MD-80 from D-pier to C-pier at BWI. We were going south on the taxi way that runs alongside the regional terminal (If your familiar with BWI) with clearance all the way to the gate. Well, as were getting to the end of the gate we see another AA 737 coming towards us. He was instructed to hold short. Instead he at us at a very high rate of speed, swerves around us and just barely missed hitting our plane. I saw a red light directly over my tractor, and the guy at the cockpit said the wingtip was just a few feet from slicing the radome. He was even closer to actually hitting the building. I got his name and employee number and told operations about what happened, looks like tomorrow this guy is going to be in a lot of trouble. I personally think he should be fired for this.
