IN THE NEWS ON TV YESTERDAY: Two AIR CANADA Pilots died when their passenger jet plane collided with the speeding fire truck at the tarmac in La Guardia Airport in New York. How it happened?
Video reel of the tragic event was captured. The voice of the air traffic controller was heard screaming STOP, STOP, STOP and yet the fire truck driver cannot hear the warning message. The driver was on the way rushing to another situation that needs attention and probably didn't see the Air Canada coming to its direction. Really? How big of a plane should be visible to naked eye? Could it be the zero visibility of the foggy atmosphere and its at night, too dark? Don't they have electricity or lamp posts outside of the airport for landing and departure? At a time when TSA Officers and workers are unpaid for their work and only few or just one (?) working at the Air Control Station?
Mistake can happen anytime and sometimes loss of lives can result from such mistake. It happened before years ago in Washington. DC when a passenger jet plane collided in mid-air with Military helicopter on patrol within DC.
How could this tragic event happened again?
