- An Air Canada Express plane collided with a Port Authority fire truck on a runway at New York City’s LaGuardia Airport late Sunday night.
- The collision resulted in the deaths of the plane's two pilots, one of whom has been identified as Antoine Forest. Approximately 40 passengers and crew members were injured, most of whom have since been released from hospitals.
- Survivors are suggesting the pilots who died may have saved countless other lives by putting the aircraft into reverse thrust at the last second.
- Federal investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are examining the crash site, recovering flight data recorders, and interviewing personnel, including the air traffic controllers on duty.
- One runway at LaGuardia reopened, but the runway where the crash occurred is expected to remain closed for several days as the NTSB continues its data-gathering and analysis.
