The firefighting vehicle was crossing the runway in response to a separate United Airlines flight that had aborted its takeoff after pilots reported an odor in the cabin, which made flight attendants feel ill.

Air traffic control audio captured a controller granting the truck clearance to cross the runway before urgently ordering it to stop. "Stop, Truck 1. Stop," the transmission said, followed by the controller frantically diverting incoming aircraft.
