We’ve all heard of the “Chinese Fire Drill’
Well, here’s the new one; the ‘Peruvian Fire Drill’. And this one is deadly.

Lima airport: Truck hit by plane on Peru runway was on planned drill

A fire truck involved in a fatal runway crash at Peru’s busiest airport had been doing a pre-planned emergency drill, officials have said.

Two firefighters died on Friday after the Latam Airlines jet collided with the truck at Jorge Chávez International Airport in Lima.

No passengers or crew were killed.

Latam’s CEO said the flight had been cleared for take-off, but the airport has now said a routine drill was being carried out by the fire services.
