The photo is a frame of a video from the JetBlue aircraft, showing the runway incursion
A Jetblue Embraer ERJ-190, registration N179JB performing flight B6-206 from Nashville,TN to Boston,MA (USA), was on final approach to Boston's runway 04R cleared to land on the runway.
A single engine aircraft had been cleared to line up and wait on crossing runway 09, the crew of Embraer already cleared to land heard that clearance, acknowledge the clearance and proceeded onto the runway, however, commenced their takeoff run without clearance.

I actually work on the equipment mentioned in the article, the asde-x. It's a pretty miraculous piece of equipment and has definitely prevented a lot of accidents. I guarantee every tower with one could not imagine life without it lol.
Cool! Care to post something on this community with some more explanation? Would love to hear more about it ☺️
What exactly would you want to hear? I think just a technical explanation might be kind of boring lol
Some basic explanation of what it does, how it works and why you think it is great would be nice to hear from an insider :)
