Value SubtractedTwo pilots flying Air Canada jet killed in crash at LaGuardia Airport
hydrashokDamn. Sounds like the fire truck responding to another event crossed an active runway while this plane was landing on it? What a freak accident. So sad.
HellsBelleThe flight controller made a mistake giving the firetruck permission to cross the runway.
This is more than likely due to the shutdown and shortage of staff … but the controller will likely face charges even tho it’s not all their fault.
If I was s flight controller and the guy who made this mistake was jailed or charged with wrong doing while not getting paid, I would not return to work. That’s beyond fucked up. If the government shuts down they should shutdown the airports too if the controllers are not getting paid. This death falls squarely on the orange turd. Auto correct suggested turd after I typed orange. That’s the first time autocorrect has done something good on my phone.
