    The news channel said that the fire truck was manned by police officers, citing sources. It had earlier said ⁠a sergeant and an officer had broken limbs and were in stable condition at a hospital.

    Typical, idiot pigs driving on an active runway

      Read the articles, air traffic controller fucked up and told them the runway was clear, they were responding to report of fire on another plane.

      Why is police driving a fire truck anyway? (And that’s without even asking what the fuck they were doing on a runway)

          Fire truck. This would not happen if airport firefighters used bicycles.

          But a bunch of cops got injured so this was a rare case of both planes and cars being good.
