True cause of deadly LaGuardia plane crash horror is hiding in plain sight
NY Post
Investigators probing Sunday’s horrific LaGuardia Airport crash say “multiple failures” — not a single air traffic control error — are to blame for the tragic deaths of two Air Canada pilots and scores of passenger injuries.
But perhaps the biggest such failure is one that National Transportation Safety Board experts won’t examine.
The Air Canada jet plowed into a fire truck heading to assist a disabled United Airlines plane that was out on the tarmac because no open gate was available for it at the terminal.
Any transportation system that is overloaded clearly has fundamental problems.
Flying has become fragile: The US air travel network, once resilient, now operates permanently on the edge of failure.
A routine thunderstorm, a late inbound aircraft or a staffing hiccup can seize up an entire web of connections — and these delays no longer stay local, but cascade across the continent.
