Sounds like the firetruck was cleared to cross when the CRJ was still on the roll. 2 dead on the scene (presumably the pilots), and four critically injured (presumably the firefighters). I can't imagine the forward FA was uninjured.

I'm looking to get plenty of ratings (muti-eng, IFR, night etc etc) and the best thing is that I can do all my flight training without the pressure of having to do commercial ratings. I can just pick and choose whichever ratings I want, and based on my own financial situation!

And then, once I learn how to fly, I can use my flight credentials as a "nice to have" sort of skill. I'll be in a league separate from purely academic engineers in the aerospace job market

Whereas for commercial pilots, getting all their ratings is just the bare minimum of what they need :3

It's hard to keep track of all the updates, this live blog does a good job.
