So the truck just crosses a runway because the ground controller said it was OK? Do ground vehicle drivers not take a half a second to look both ways before crossing a runway? It would have prevented this. Safely through redundant checks.

- Waterluvian 7mo ago> It would have prevented this. You seem confident and well-informed. Can you tell us about the time of day, visibility conditions, and what it’s like driving a fire truck at an airport? We should really get this judgment to the driver ASAP.
- mianos 7mo agoYes. To have to do a certification to drive on the apron. There are all sorts of rules about being careful to cross the runway. I imagine they were rushing to the 'emergency'. To hit a plane there must have been multiple mistakes. The swiss cheese thing.
- ozten 7mo agoRaining, misting. The plane may have been up in cloud cover when they looked and decided to enter the runway. Hard to judge the distance and trajectory of planes. Once the firetruck started moving, they may have seen it without time to gun it or back up. > It would have prevented this. Wow.
