About this episode

Max Trescott and Rob Mark discuss the LaGuardia runway collision and various NTSB accident reports, including engine failures and other aircraft incidents.

Max Trescott and Rob Mark analyze the LaGuardia runway collision involving Jazz Flight 646 and an airport firetruck that was cleared to cross runway 4 shortly before the landing regional jet arrived.

Max explains how runway status lights, runway entrance lights, anticipated separation, and ASDE-X are intended to work, and why that design logic may have failed when a moving firetruck reached the runway edge.
