Alarming airplane near-disaster

In the most recent incident, a business jet took off without clearance at Boston Logan International Airport on Monday, forcing an incoming JetBlue flight to go around.

Per air traffic control recordings, the business jet was told to "line up and wait" on one runway, while the JetBlue flight was approaching an intersecting runway.
That's not a takeoff clearance — but the smaller jet started its takeoff roll anyway, putting it in the path of the inbound JetBlue flight.
The JetBlue pilots aborted their landing, went around and landed about 10 minutes later. (In a go-around, pilots add power, climb back up and set up for another landing attempt.)
