For context, the fire truck was responding, under guidance from ATC, to a United 737 Max aircraft which had aborted two takeoffs, declared an emergency and requested fire trucks due to a strange odor that was making the flight attendants sick.
The flight controller tried to fix the mistake by sending orders to the truck to stop, but apparently, the initial part of the command was sent on the wrong frequency between the Ground and Tower radio channels.

4/nAdam Kinzinger summarizes the likely deeper cause of this tragedy - the callous ineptness of this administration, rather than the mistake of the air traffic controller who was handling two simultaneous emergencies late at night.
Unfortunately, in this admin, dept. after dept. and agency after agency are good at creating chaos, not solving problems.

5/nSean Duffy is claiming there was more than one ATC in the tower when the Air Canada flight hit that firetruck. Let's see how well that claim ages.
