Damn that's awful.
replyI read elsewhere that the plane was only going 24mph when it hit the truck, and I didn't understand how the collision could have been that damaging, but I wasn't taking into account how much momentum a plane would have at that speed. From the video, it seems like a plane moving on the ground acts less like a car or truck and more like a very delicate freight train when it hits something.
Maybe they were talking about the truck going 24mph, but the plane is clearly going WAY faster than that.
replyI'm not completely sure but it seems like the runway entry lights are red which very clearly indicates the runway is in use. They should have known better.
Another link, video is slightly different (but collision is the same) - user is trying to select a region of the video I think
