A private jet taxiing to the runway was knocked off its path after a Fiat Panda crashed into the airplane’s nose at Milan Linate Airport. The incident has gone viral, leading to questions about the safety of the aircraft and ground vehicles at the airport. It is rather surprising that the driver of the Panda failed to spot the aircraft approaching his path. The movement of aircraft and ground vehicles is regulated by air traffic control, but what led to this incident has not been revealed. It was later revealed that a fatal air traffic control miscommunication resulted in the vehicle being cleared to cross an active runway just as the jet was landing.
