Narrative:

The approach control radios and handling of traffic was in chaos. This resulted in our being cleared to taxi across runway 24L when there was an airplane landing on runway 24L. Tower thought he was on runway 24R. There was so much confusion that any cues to tower or the aircraft landing on the wrong runway were missed by both. This was a very similar situation where there was a fatal crash at the same airport and runway, so I guess the problem has not been fixed. There was nothing to prevent a similar occurrence if an aircraft had been in position on runway 24L.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: B767 CREW WAS CLRED TO CROSS A RWY. ANOTHER ACFT WAS LNDG ON THIS RWY. THE LNDG ACFT WAS CLRED TO LAND ON A PARALLEL RWY.

Narrative: THE APCH CTL RADIOS AND HANDLING OF TFC WAS IN CHAOS. THIS RESULTED IN OUR BEING CLRED TO TAXI ACROSS RWY 24L WHEN THERE WAS AN AIRPLANE LNDG ON RWY 24L. TWR THOUGHT HE WAS ON RWY 24R. THERE WAS SO MUCH CONFUSION THAT ANY CUES TO TWR OR THE ACFT LNDG ON THE WRONG RWY WERE MISSED BY BOTH. THIS WAS A VERY SIMILAR SIT WHERE THERE WAS A FATAL CRASH AT THE SAME ARPT AND RWY, SO I GUESS THE PROB HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. THERE WAS NOTHING TO PREVENT A SIMILAR OCCURRENCE IF AN ACFT HAD BEEN IN POS ON RWY 24L.
