A very sad event which could have been avoided by applying routine procedures. .
Yes, and those routine procedures should be reminded at every briefing before working in or close to an active runway.
On the poor briefings :yes in both Vnukovo and Luxembourg examples I mentioned (but I could have included more like the Dublin lawn mower for instance) , poor
préparions and lack of proper briefings played the major role . You can also add or even replace to poor briefing , by poor training, or lack of understanding how the whole system works if you prefer . But the root cause is there
. In my (old) days as a TWR controller is was mandatory that the crew chief of any intervention planned in the manœuvre area or any of the runways came physically to the TWR to discuss what was planned with the TWR supervisor , which included info passed to the crew chief on planned departures and arrivals during that time .
Today time is money , and this is long gone .
