There has been a deadly crash at one of New York's major airports, LaGuardia, a regional
“jet operated by Air Canada, hit a fire truck upon landing late last night.”
The nose of the jet has been ripped off and the pilot and the co-pilot have been killed. The fire truck was apparently going to investigate an odor in a different jet at the airport when the crash happened. Katherine Garcia is the executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. She says the National Transportation Safety Board is leading the investigation.
"It is anticipated that the airport will be closed at least until 2pm this afternoon to facilitate the investigation by NTSB, which has already begun to be on site." She also says 41 people were taken to the hospital. Most of them have been released, but of those who are still hospitalized, some people are seriously injured.
