LaGuardia Airport in New York reopened on Monday afternoon after a deadly runway collision shut the busy airport for several hours and disrupted hundreds of flights. The crash occurred late Sunday night, killing both pilots on board and injuring dozens of passengers and crew.
The collision involved an Air Canada Express regional jet arriving from Montreal and a Port Authority fire truck that was crossing the runway to respond to a separate incident. The aircraft was carrying 72 passengers and four crew members at the time.
