The plane was clearly felony-speeding.

Truck evidently had the right-of-way—it being an emergency vehicle.

You're supposed to pull your plane over to the right, people, when you see an emergency vehicle—what's the matter with you?

These damn plane drivers, they never learn!

Now they probably got the truck pilot killed!

What the actual fuck?

So were the fire trucks racing off to an emergency before ....the emergency? Very strange.....

Update:

On Nov 20th 2022 Lima's Airport Authority reported in a written communique, that a pre-planned response time exercise was performed by the Rescue Team, in which it was to prove that a response to an emergency on the runway would not take any more than 3 minutes. The exercise had been coordinated between the airport and the Air Traffic Authority (CORPAC) and set to be carried out between 15:00 and 16:00 local time on Nov 18th 2022. CORPAC (Control Tower) confirmed the start time of the exercise at 15:10L, the impact with the LATAM aircraft happened at 15:11. The exercise was duely authorized under the current aeronautical regulations. (Editorial note: this communique does not mention, whether the vehicles were cleared to enter the runway by tower or whether the pre-coordination with CORPAC also included that the vehicles would be cleared to enter the runway without actual tower clearance, in other words tower would halt all traffic at 15:10L)

The prosecutors' office is investigating the incident as potential manslaughter.

The saddest part of this video is the last 10 seconds, with tone alarm on the air mask going off.

For Chicago firemen like me it means "man down."

I've never been so disgusted watching a video of gore and then getting hit with that sound, with no one to help them.

Sickens me.

I understand this hits close to home for you but it also hits close to home for me as a commercial pilot. Those guys killed themselves and are lucky they didn't kill hundreds of other people. You never ever cross a runway without looking both ways to make sure it's clear even if you've been given clearance to cross, which they weren't. It's like running a red light without checking for oncoming traffic even if you are code 3, lights and sirens. it's stupid and it risks everyone else's life for nothing.
They weren't even responding to a real emergency it was a response time drill. Seems like they need to go back to training about how to operate on an airport environment.
The pilots on that plane were actually jailed for 2 days because it's Peru and that's just what they do. Two innocent pilots spent two nights in jail because those firefighters couldn't be bothered to follow basic safety practices.
