2 pilots of Air Canada dead, the airliner collided with a fire fighting vehicle
The pilot and copilot of the Air Canada plane were killed, and 41 passengers and crew members, some with serious injuries, were taken to local hospitals. Of those injured, 32 have since been released
The fire truck was traveling across the runway to respond to a separate incident on board a United Airlines flight that reported an odor issue. Moments before the crash, audio of an air traffic controller revealed that they gave clearance to a vehicle to cross part of the tarmac. Moments later, a controller can be heard saying, “Stop, stop, stop, truck 1 stop, truck 1, stop.”
Later in the audio transmission, a distraught controller is heard saying, “We were dealing with an emergency earlier. I messed up.”
Preliminary data show that the Air Canada plane was traveling between 93 and 105 mph when it collided with the fire truck
