Footage is awful.  Truck was cleared to cross the runway, then ATC shouted stop, but the truck didn't hear this request, probably over the sound of the 30litre engine in those things.

One flight attendant was found, still strapped to her seat, on the ground.  Both crew in the fire truck survived.

It could have been even worse.

RIP.
