Maybe they were talking about the truck going 24mph, but the plane is clearly going WAY faster than that.

I'm not completely sure but it seems like the runway entry lights are red which very clearly indicates the runway is in use. They should have known better.

It's crossing more than its entire length per second, so 36m - 130km/h+ or 80mph+.
This is the article I saw, but I agree it seems like its going much faster in the video https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/23/air-canada-crash-at...
