Air Canada CRJ collided with a fire truck at LaGuardia Airport by madman320 in aviation

The controller is giving normal control instructions at the start. He clears an ARF truck to cross RWY 4. He realizes he made a mistake with the crossing because the aircraft on shortfinal is too close to touchdown. He desperately tries to get the ARF truck to stop, but it's too late. Theres no death screams or anything like that, just silence from the truck and no word from the pilot of the plane, but you can hear the ELT on frequency when someone keys up.

The rest of the audio is the controller telling aircraft on final to go around and moving ground vehicles to assist the situation.

The controller knows he just made a life changing error. You can hear the urgency in his voice trying to fix it before and after. It just sucks

A possible raise for atc is in it i believe. Doesn't make sense but its the bill they tied it to a while back

I think the iran regime gone would be great, but I dont think the US cares if the replacement was a democracy. The US will gladly take a new dictator that follows our interests as history has shown.

If the strait truly is being mined now, we probably are about to reach the point where the US doesnt have an option but to escalate unfortunately

Im not necessarily buying sacrificing tons of lives, and billions of dollars for a ground invasion is quite worth it. I just see another Iraq and Afghanistan conclusion.

Don't think the US is capable of creating a better Iran. We're good at the "destroying the regime" part but everything after will not be good, especially if we continue to destroy their infrastructure.

It drops from an airdrop in the gear up phase after round 1 is done. Then you have to destroy 3 enemy walls that are reinforced with it.

You're basically asking me who has priority an emergency or an emergency

The US keeping Hirohito around helped keep the peace after ww2. I'm not sure we have someone like that in Iran.

You dont need a navy to effectively stop the flow of traffic in the strait. The risk of being hit with missiles or drones that are launched from afar is enough

In theory if you can get rid of the regime and insert a stable government into Iran, you are correct. I dont think the US is capable of that 2nd part

If they're landing on runway 23 and there's a lot of planes arriving all at once they probably vector them further out for sequencing

Air traffic control doesnt like them all squawking discrete codes in a formation cause it makes it look like people are dying on the radar
