A tragic accident at New York LaGuardia Airport has left two pilots dead and dozens injured after an Air Canada regional jet collided with a fire truck on the runway after a critical Air Traffic Control error.
The aircraft, operated by Jazz Aviation, was carrying 72 passengers and four crew members. Both pilots were killed in the collision, while at least 41 people were transported to hospitals, including passengers and personnel on the ground.
The impact caused severe damage to the front of the aircraft, effectively destroying the cockpit section. LaGuardia Airport was shut down following the incident, with hundreds of flights disrupted.
