Nine people hospitalised and airport closed after landing plane hits fire truck responding to separate incident
The pilot and co-pilot of an Air Canada Express regional jet have been killed after it collided with a fire truck while landing at New York’s LaGuardia airport, in an incident that closed the airport.
The collision also caused serious injuries with nine people in hospital. It happened as a firefighting vehicle was responding to a separate incident, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs the airport.
The Air Canada Express CRJ-900 plane, operated by its partner Jazz Aviation, was carrying 72 passengers and four crew members from Montreal, based on a preliminary passenger list that remained subject to confirmation. Jazz is owned by Chorus Aviation.
In fairness to the problem, it’s been going on far longer than that. DOGE certainly didn’t help, but this has been an issue for quite a long time.
Its been an issue since… Oh, right. Reagan.
To quote a favorite Youtuber of mine “And this dates back to… Oh right. Ronald Fuckin’ Reagan.”
If the country lasts long enough, Trump will be referred the same way. It’s just much easier to break things.
Hmm, we might watch the same YouTuber.
