Air Canada crash at LaGuardia Airport: What happened, who were the victims? - Al Jazeera
Overview
An Air Canada Express flight struck a fire truck while landing at LaGuardia, killing the pilot and co-pilot and hospitalizing dozens of passengers and emergency responders; the NTSB is conducting a formal inquiry. The crash prompted scrutiny of airport surface safety procedures and provoked political fallout over the airline’s public response. A separate Newark incident, where a United flight struck a light pole and damaged a tractor-trailer with minor injuries to the truck driver, adds another example of aircraft-ground collisions that may increase pressure for systemic safety reviews.
