Audio of Plane and Truck Collision at LaGuardia Airport

Audio recordings from before the accident between an airplane and a truck at LaGuardia Airport in New York have recently been released. They capture a moment when one of the operators authorized the vehicle to cross the runway as the aircraft was landing. According to Noticias Argentinas agency, the footage began to circulate shortly after the tragic incident that claimed the lives of two pilots, but it is still under investigation. 'LaGuardia Tower requesting to cross 4 on Delta,' the truck driver stated before crossing runway 4, to which the airport controller responded: 'Truck 1 and company, cross 4 on Delta.' Moments later, realizing an impact was imminent, the operator tried to halt the maneuver and instructed: 'Frontier 4195, stop there, please. I know you can't move. Just hold your position.'
