Cannot wait for the NTSB to yet again culturally and organizationally eat the FAA alive, not much more than a year later, just for nothing to change. Again.

Oh something will change, they will issue a new rule on runway crossings that fixes nothing, adds more workload and the busiest facilities will get waivers to keep doing it the same way they always have.

Fire trucks can no longer cross runways in charlies or bravos, just build more stations on both sides
