An Air Canada plane collided with a fire truck at LaGuardia Airport in New York on Sunday (22 March).
The commercial jet struck the Port Authority fire truck on the runway, where it was attending to another issue on a different plane which had “requested support”.
The pilot and copilot were killed, whilst about 40 passengers and crew members were taken to nearby hospitals, some with serious injuries.
A flight attendant was found alive on the ground by rescuers, still strapped to her seat which had fallen through a hole in the floor of the plane. Her injuries are reportedly not life threatening.
