Air Canada flight crashes at N.Y. airport, killing two people and injuring dozens
An Air Canada jet travelling from Montreal to New York City’s LaGuardia Airport last night crashed into a fire truck after landing on a runway, claiming the lives of two pilots. All 72 passengers and four crew members present on the flight have been accounted for, and 41 people were taken to two hospitals after the crash – some in serious condition.
Airport officials said the fire truck was responding to a separate incident related to an aborted takeoff of a United Airlines flight.
