Air Canada RJ impact with ground vehicle, at least 2 fatalities

[Quickstatus]

My thinking is that the collision occurred about where Delta & Echo intersect (where I've put the cross).

No. The airport map in post #6 upthread suggests the location you indicated is E/F

I got the feeling that the second ARFF truck (32) was coming from a different direction, and my suspicion is that following the incident ARFF truck was the air stairs that were originally sent out to the United when it was stopped on the Alpha taxiway with its odor problem - but that is just my reading between the lines of it.

I wouldn’t be game to speculate based on that.

If the two trucks were in different locations/travelling in different directions they should not be using “in company”. If true that’s a red flag right there.

No doubt as day starts to break over that way some videos/cctv will surface.

The recording said "Truck 1 and company" - company could be the air stairs, an ambulance, a fire chief's SUV.
