So even if the driver did look or was looking 'down' the runway, towards the approaching plane at that time, he'd have seen nothing but his truck, much less a plan barrelling at him at 160+ kph.


At least, that's what it looks like, to me.
I was thinking that, too. The passenger in the truck would have the best visibility. Would it be their responsibility to do the visual check? Swiss cheese effect?
