A good example of why the correct phraseology (and thus mindset) is "Cleared to land", not "Clear..." though I'm not connecting that observation to this incident.
Sickening to see that, but how much worse the outcome would have been had he been a quarter of a wingspan further to the right.
The mind boggles how machinery could be left anywhere near active runways like that. I doubt the lawyers will score much on this, proceedings should be mercifully brief and clear-cut.
