Sounds like the firetruck was cleared to cross when the CRJ was still on the roll. 2 dead on the scene (presumably the pilots), and four critically injured (presumably the firefighters). I can't imagine the forward FA was uninjured.

For sure. It's classic swiss cheese model of aviation accidents. It may have been a controller mistake due to high workload, but why is that controller so overworked to begin with?
