Swiss Air Aborts Takeoff After Flames and Loud Bang at Logan

tower immediately grabbed the crash phone apparently

great 6 minute video

fire hq is off to the right

sta 2 is across the field - they had an active runway right in front of them

that was probably an alert 2 - maybe even a alert 3 - lets check the
radio tapes - standby

"Port 25" is the field ops supervisor in the white suv - she came
right up on the tower freq

mass port authority has a 800 mhz trs for internal comms (police fire
dpw ops parking piers etc)

[Peteri Szerlagi]

per open mhz

logan sent all apparatus - no mention of alert 2 or alert 3 - 557 pm

station 2 told to standby

601 pm - cancel all outside companies (FD) - no outside companies heard

600 pm - close runway 4L / 22R per Port 25

3 TGs used were - FD Alerting + Port Ops 1 + FD Wide Area

apparently there was NO alert 2 nor alert 3 called - just logan fd responded

there was no radio traffic on bfd ch1 about any incident at logan
around that time - per scanner feed

the IC however told the fire dispatcher to cancel any outside
companies that were responding - the dispatcher just echoed the
message

seems we have a failure to communicate somewhere - the IC thought he
had or might have outside units responding but he didnt - (yes we have
none of those)
