A UPS cargo plane had to abort landing in Louisville this week as a small plane crossed the runway just as it approached.

The air traffic controller shouted “Skylab 25, stop!” at the small plane before ordering the UPS plane to pull up and perform a maneuver called a go-around at Louisville's Muhammad Ali International Airport, a major hub for UPS.
