That's news to me then. The original reporting was that the Airbus had been cleared to take off something like 15 seconds *within* what was the normal "wait" period.

The first report I had heard about this said it was due to a delay in the takeoff of the preceding aircraft, and that the Airbus was cleared for takeoff without allowing for the delay of the 747.
