This is a failure to yield by a bus driver, not some systemic failure of industralized society. Hard to really derive any insight from this besides maybe requiring better training for ancillary airport ground crew.
- bmitc 4y agoYou could say that about anything. It's "just" this or that. However, the fact that the driver doesn't have the requisite training is a systematic failure. We've had, what, at least three very serious near misses of airplanes colliding with something on the runway in the last month?
- ericpauley 4y agoWhere is the third? This was a tow vehicle on a taxiway.

And this one.
