""It happened so fast, both of us were just like holy (expletive), and then we just slammed on the brakes. I might have to call the flight attendants to make sure everybody's alright in the back. It was real close. The closest I've ever seen.""
""We are aware of the incident. No injuries were reported to passengers or crew. We thank our crew for their vigilance and professionalism.""
The FAA is looking into a close call involving a Frontier Airlines Airbus A321 and two trucks on the tarmac at Los Angeles International Airport. The pilot reported having to brake suddenly to avoid a collision as the trucks crossed in front of the taxiing jet. Fortunately, no injuries were reported among passengers or crew. Frontier Airlines acknowledged the incident and praised their crew for their vigilance. This incident follows a recent tragedy at LaGuardia Airport where an Air Canada jet collided with a fire truck, resulting in the deaths of the pilot and co-pilot.
