Milton J. Valencia and Martin Finucane of The Boston Globe report in Boston.com that their was a near plane/truck collison yesterday morning at Logan Airport, the main airport in Boston, Massachusetts.
Officials said the driver of the vehicle, a Ford Explorer, was on a taxiway and apparently failed to follow safety procedures requiring him to stop at the runway intersection and radio the tower for permission to cross. The taxiway, known as Taxiway M, is in the middle of the airfield and under construction. It crosses Runway 15R, the one the plane was speeding down. The truck was nearly clipped by the wing of the US Airways Flight 27.
These kind of incursions happen a ton at Logan. In the last year records are available for, 2005, there were 14 such incidents.
The Decarie is safer.
