Analysis Summary
An Air Canada passenger jet struck a fire truck on a LaGuardia runway, killing both pilots. An NTSB report released today found that a firefighter on the truck heard an air traffic controller say "stop, stop, stop" but didn't realize the warning was directed at his vehicle. The crash occurred because fire trucks lack transponders that could trigger automatic collision warnings, a gap the NTSB says contributed to the miscommunication.
