• After the accident, the Federal Aviation Administration stopped all flights at the airport. Incoming flights were diverted and outgoing flights were suspended.
• The incident gained further attention when an Air Traffic Control (ATC) audio recording the moments before the collision went viral on social media.
• In this audio, a ground vehicle named “Truck 1” can be heard asking for permission to cross the runway, which is given permission from the control tower. But after a few moments the situation rapidly deteriorates and the controller repeatedly asks him to stop.
• The controller’s voice is heard on the audio, “Stop, stop… Truck 1, stop!”—but the collision occurs seconds later.
• Soon after, other aircraft coming in for landing were instructed to abort their attempts.
• One flight was asked to “go around” because the runway was declared unsafe. Later conversations confirmed that Runway 4 and then the entire airport was closed.
• At a crucial moment in the audio, the ATC officer is also heard saying, “We were dealing with an emergency earlier and I made a mistake.”
• Now the aviation authorities will investigate this entire matter, in which it will be specifically seen what kind of permission and communication process led to this accident.
