  • Odds are that the pilots themselves didn’t see him and would have learned about the situation from air traffic control. It was late at night, there’s a limited range of sight from a cockpit, and at least one of the pilots is going to be paying more attention to the pre-flight checklists than their surroundings. Additionally, even if they shutdown the engines it would still take time for them to fully stop. As for the footage being cut off, it’s probably because that portion hasn’t been (and probably won’t ever be) released to the public. Ultimately, you’re going to have to wait for the NTSB’s report for more details.
