At least the pilot didn't die? A plane taking off for sunnier climes (Phoeniz, AZ) narrowly missed crashing into a construction vehicle at Logan early this morning. The construction vehicle was apparently crossing the runway, oblivious the a several-ton aircraft coming at it. The incident marked the third incursion, or instance of a vehicle being on the runway when a plane is about to take off, this year. Logan had 13 incursions in 2008, four in 2007, seven in 2006 and 15 in 2005. An aviation expert called it a "difficult" airfield to navigate because of all the "weird intersections"—were they inspired by the roads here or what?
