      Plane is Air Canada Flight 8646 from Montreal. ~~100 people aboard~~ appears front of the plane sheared off.

      Update: Reports that 60 passengers and all were evacuated from the plane, unclear of injuries amongst passengers. No word on the status of the crew. Reports that 4 firefighters injured with possibly 2 fatalities amongst that group.

      Plane must’ve just landed and was slowing down? because that damage looks pretty intense for it if we’re just taxiing.

      > …unconfirmed reports suggesting at least two fatalities and dozens of critical injuries. Early images of the accident reveal significant damage to the regional jet’s nose and front fuselage.

      Absolutely horrifying. My thoughts are with all those involved.

      Sounds like someone in the tower messed up. Cleared the truck to cross the runway

      If the US can’t ensure the safety of their airports I don’t want our flights going there.

      Jesus, was the plane landing right when clearance was given? Then smacked into the side of the fire truck?

      That guy in the tower probably just developed PTSD, he gave clearance and two people are dead because he said it.

      Air traffic controller Major mistake not safe to fly in the us until they sort themselves out

      Absolutely heartbreaking for the families of those involved.

      Air traffic control needs an overhaul. The systems are decades old and not designed for the burden placed on them. You’re relying on a single overworked controller to keep track of too many things in their head.

      I look both ways when I’m crossing a street even when a red light or stop sign gives me right of way.

      Tower may have made a mistake but did someone here try crossing a runway without looking? Or was it bad weather, I guess? I can’t imagine SOP doesn’t require visual confirmation when possible.
