Another part of the reason that crash occurred was because the firetrucks didn’t have transponders for the system that is supposed to be aware of all things that are, or about to be, on a particular part of the airfield.
If they had had them, this would have triggered with the system thats hooked into the radar detection of oncoming aircraft, that the ATCs did have, it would have started barking out warnings.
(ASDE-X is the specific system I’m talking about)
So… if you just … plug in AI… to hardware sensors that dont actually exist… well they’re gonna miss things too.
Kinda like how… it doesn’t matter how much compute power Elon crams into a Tesla, the Autopilot based on visual cameras alone will be inferior to an Autopilot that also uses LIDAR.
(My source on this is youtuber Captain Steeeve, retired pilot, goes through the latest NTSB report)
Its ok lol, this whole catastrophe was so complex that the NTSB … seems like it had to redo its whole report, or maybe a better way to say it would be that their initial report was incomplete, and the later report hsd a loooot more, and some just actually different analysis and conclusions.
There were many, many contributing factors to this.
ATC was overworked, made a mistake.
Later tried to correct it, but it likely wasn’t heard because a huge truck hauling water… well its diesel engines spooling up are very loud, inside the cabin.
Systems… didn’t specifically fail, they just didn’t work correctly, due to not being fully implemented.
The drivers of the truck could have paid attention to the red strip of lights infront of them, instead of ignoring them - its possible that if they asked ATC ‘hey why are the DONT GO lights on, ATC?’, the ATC might have looked at the system controlling that and seen ‘oh, the lights are red because a plane will be landing in 45 seconds’.

You’re absolutely right!
(sorry)
