  One ATC at LaGuardia. Insanity.

  ATC may have made a mistake here but the failure is clearly understaffing.

  Air Canada should cease all US operations. The US is unsafe.

    If people stop taking their flights, they will stop flying.

  So it was either a lapse with the ATC or the driver of the firetruck didn’t have clearance to cross.

    ATC gave the go ahead for the truck and then seconds later said stop. It’s on ATC.

      Even if you have clearance you should probably still double check. I wanna be clear and say I’m not blaming the driver, I’m just saying that you put a lot of trust into ATC but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have your own checks. I’m just saying this as advice to anyone that works a dangerous job.

      When I took classes on OSHA and MSHA the teacher would always go through incident reports and fatalities whenever certain things come up. 8/10 times those involved in fatalities were those with years or even decades of experience. When you get too comfortable with your routine you get complacent. We all do it. Even when our job isn’t high stress or dangerous. It’s a good idea to remind yourself every now and again to pay attention and not get too comfortable.

      Yeah, that sucks. This was the best audio i could find of ATC (sorry for IG link) and seems like they immediately realized the fuck up, but the truck kept going.

    ATC gave clearance, and then immediately realized and told them to stop like 10 times.

    That being said, any vehicle crossing the runway is required to verify physical clearance before crossing active runways for this exact reason.

    A landing plane is bright as fuck, even after they’re on the ground. Those landing lights are like little suns because of what they need to illuminate for the aircraft at a distance.

    That driver clearly didn’t even attempt to check the runway before heading out.

  Such a shame, not much those pilots could have done.

    The pilot slammed the brakes, likely saving hundreds of lives. There was a guy on the cockpit jumpseat who was ejected 320 feet in front of the cockpit and he survived.

    This is 100% on Elon Musk and BigBalls.
