Big mistake suspected in LaGuardia airport crash!

New details coming after big accident at LaGuardia Airport where two pilots lost life. Investigation by National Transportation Safety Board say maybe timing mistake is main reason.

Report saying air traffic controller give permission to fire truck cross runway just 12 seconds before Air Canada plane landing. After that, collision happen and both captain and co-pilot died.

That time only two controllers working in tower, which is normal for night. But now people talking maybe too much work same time, little risky.

Investigation still going. Maybe after this, new safety rules will come for airport and air traffic control.
