United Airlines flight UA1015, a Boeing 737-300 (N315UA) and Atlas Air flight GTI6972, a Boeing 747-47UF (N418MC) were involved in a runway incursion incident at Chicago-O'Hare International Airport, IL (ORD).
UA1015 was cleared for takeoff from runway 27L. The controller then saw GTI6972 on landing roll on runway 14R at slow speed approaching taxiway T10. Although he was required to monitor the south local control (SLC) frequencies, he did not and did not hear any communications between the SLC and any flight crews. He said he assumed GTI6972 was turning off at taxiway T10, because "it is very common". He looked left and saw out of the corner of his eye UAL1015 departing runway 27L.
He looked back to GTI6972 and thought he might turn off on the next taxiway, M, to go to the NE cargo area then decided he was not. He then alerted the SLC.
UA1015 noticed the Boeing 747 and began the rotation 10 knots prior to Vr. The First Officer called V1 shortly after the captain started rotating. UA1015 flew over GTI6972.
Probable Cause: The failure of the ORD tower south local controller to monitor Atlas Air flight 6972, B747, on arrival to runway 14R and subsequently clearing United Airlines flight 1015, B737, for takeoff on intersecting runway 27L causing a loss of separation between the two aircraft.
