NTSB Report Details Urgent 'Stop, Stop, Stop!' Warning in LaGuardia Runway Near-Miss
A Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 aborted its takeoff at New York's LaGuardia Airport to avoid a collision with an airport fire truck. According to a preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the incident occurred as the aircraft reached 138 mph. An air traffic controller urgently yelled "Stop, stop, stop!" to the pilots, who successfully halted the jet. The investigation revealed the fire truck driver was a trainee who reportedly became confused by radio communications and entered the active runway without clearance. The NTSB's full investigation into the serious runway incursion is ongoing.
