Yes,the tape of the conversation showed the tower telling the fire
truck to stop 3 times before it pulled out causing the accident so,
regardless of everything else, that seems to be what really caused
the whole thing. Why could they no longer hear the tower after they
were first given permission to cross the runway?..
