Tower was manned
The tower was manned, as it is every day except for Christmas day. I had landed about 10 minutes before the crash.
Runway 31 L & 31 R were in operation. It was very busy at the time. As often happens 31 L tower west freq (123.0) was merged with MB ground (119.9). After landing it was hard to get the ground call out as it was so busy.
I wonder if the tower controller was overloaded with 31L and ground work at the same time.
Even with the tower control, you must keep a keen look out.
Condolences to all concerned.
