A CRJ-900 operated by Jazz Aviation on behalf of Air Canada collided with a rescue and firefighting vehicle on Sunday. Daniel Bubb, an aviation expert, analyzed what happened.
The Air Canada jet was moving up Runway 4 when an air traffic controller cleared the Port Authority truck to cross the same runway. The plane was traveling around 100 mph when they collided.
