I'm aware of that but we have quite a large overview over the airport while the plane was moving. As I said, in other situations the fire trucks have been visible. Here they aren't for quite a long time which I think is weird. Especially because the landing was botched already and it was a emergency landing.
- dmitriid 8y agoIn other situations dispatchers knew that this was an emergency landing, so the trucks were already dispatched to the correct runway. In this case nothing the pilots said or did indicated the need for fire trucks. When the plane hit the tarmac and ignited, - this had to be communicated to the fire crew, with oroper coordinates - traffic in the airfield had to be stopped and rerouted - the crew had to get to the trucks, start them and get out onto the field - they had to drive all the way from wherever they are stationed to wherever the plane stopped IIRC they reached the plane in under two minutes which is a pretty good time from a cold start.
