I'm seeing this title in a lot of places. That's kind of a generic collision of jet and fire truck on a runway. Meanwhile, the front of the plane was sheared off, so we're pretty confident about who hit whom.
But also, it's a runway, the default state is for planes to be on the runway, not firetrucks.
At the least this title should be "Fire truck collides with a jet on the runway, killing pilots and injuring others"
But the media has gotten so bad at organizing facts at the resort to practical randomness.

@gatesvp The truck was allowed to cross an active runway and the plane hit it. The headline isn't really wrong...
