1. I'm so Sorry about what happened

to the Canadian Pilots. ..

I've been following this since last night.. It sounds like it was the Firetruck's fault for not "stopping"?

Mahalo for this, Swede

3. Right. He was given permission to cross runway...problem one...but.

Should he have double checked visually? Why didn't he react quicker when the ATC said stop?

5. There has been some discussion regarding the communication system...

that is in use and that it is possible the firetruck did not hear the repeated calls to stop. It had something to do with how the tower communicates with other systems in use. This was discussed on Canadian news, the CBC News Network, this morning. This is from an article on the CBC site:

"We seem to have three people that needed to know what's going on, or actually four different entities, and we don't hear any co-ordination among them," Mary Schiavo, the former U.S. Department of Transportation inspector general, told CBC News Network Monday morning."

"There are three people communicating but not with each other."

9. Whoa... TY for that info, Spatzito...

"We seem to have three people that needed to know what's going on, or actually four different entities, and we don't hear any co-ordination among them," Mary Schiavo, the former U.S. Department of Transportation inspector general, told CBC News Network Monday morning."

I'm Sorry about the Canadian Pilots.

10. Thank you!

We are all shocked and saddened by this tragic accident. Our Canadian TSB will be working with the NTSB to figure out what happened and what is needed to be done so this doesn't happen again and I do have trust they will do that.

12. Aww... Mahalo, Spazito💔 ☮️🌻🕯️🕊️💜

6. Yes, those are the important questions..

and I hope they get to the bottom of this, Truthfully.

It does seem like it wasn't just the Firemen's fault ... it started with the ATC not being aware that Air Canada was coming in for a Landing?

7. The ATC had cleared the AIr Canada flight to land on that runway.

It seems he was managing too much at once. Less than a minute later - he told the firetruck to cross that same runway.

11. Oh good Grief! I bet he's feeling

bad.

Then we have Duffy out there spinning and gaslighting to cover up any blame that could be their Fault.. per your OP.. DOGE.

15. Tragic.

4. Technically

But they were given the go ahead by the tower so why wouldn’t they go?

[Cha]

13. Right... I'm finding out more about it now..

Thank you..
