Makes me ask whether or not the tower had Airport Surface Detection Equipment, ASDE. This is a type of radar used to keep track of aircraft and vehicles on the airfield. Also, the article doesn’t say where on the airfield the accident occurred, on the taxiways or on the parking ramp. If the Canadian ATC follows the FAA practice, Air Traffic is not responsible for aircraft movements on parking aprons and ramps.
