LaGuardia tragedy: two pilots killed as runway-crossing fire truck prompts probe

Two pilots of a Canada Air Express jet died when their aircraft collided with a Port Authority fire truck during landing at LaGuardia. Preliminary NTSB data show the fire truck was cleared to cross Runway 4 about 20 seconds before impact, with radio transmissions and controller duties reportedly conflicting. Investigators are examining runway-crossing procedures, communications, and airport operations. The pilots, identified by Canadian outlets as Antoine Forest and Mackenzie Gunther, were credited with saving the lives of 72 passengers and the two surviving crew members; the truck driver and a Port Authority officer were injured. This was LaGuardia’s first fatal crash in more than 30 years.

LaGuardia crash: two Air Canada pilots identified as probe widens

Two Air Canada Express pilots, Antoine Forest and Mackenzie Gunther, were killed when their Jazz Aviation-operated CRJ-900 collided on the ground with a Port Authority fire truck at LaGuardia during landing. Dozens were injured, and a flight attendant survived after being ejected from the aircraft. The NTSB recovered the cockpit voice recorder intact and is analyzing the flight data recorder alongside ATC data and surveillance footage as investigators probe communications and staffing. DHS-related delays briefly hindered access to the crash site, and unions and airline leaders mourned the losses while investigators gather evidence to determine what happened.

NTSB Eyes Controller Fatigue in LaGuardia Collision Probe

The National Transportation Safety Board plans to interview a LaGuardia air traffic controller as part of its investigation into the collision between an Air Canada Express jet and a fire truck; authorities say fatigue and staffing are under scrutiny, with cockpit and flight data records recovered and the controller potentially handling multiple roles during the incident.

Two pilots dead as LaGuardia runway collision with fire truck spurs investigation

A Jazz Aviation-operated Air Canada Express plane collided with a Port Authority fire-rescue vehicle on a LaGuardia runway while the truck was responding to a separate incident; two pilots were killed and 41 people were hospitalized, mostly from the aircraft. One runway reopened the next day as hundreds of flights were canceled or delayed and the FAA kept a ground stop. The NTSB has launched a go team, with assistance from Canada's TSB and ALPA, to determine how the vehicle ended up on the runway and whether air traffic control clearance contributed to the tragedy.

Collision at LaGuardia: Air Canada Express jet strikes a fire truck during landing

An Air Canada Express CRJ-900 operated by Jazz Aviation collided with a ground fire truck while landing at New York’s LaGuardia, killing both pilots and injuring dozens as the airport shut down. The fire truck was crossing Runway 4 to respond to an odor issue on a United Airlines flight. About 32 of the 41 injured had been released, nine remained hospitalized with serious injuries (including two fire crew), and the NTSB launched an investigation while the FAA warned of an extended closure, highlighting ongoing strains in the U.S. aviation system amid ATC staffing shortages and a partial government shutdown.

Two pilots aboard an Air Canada Express CRJ 900 were killed when their plane collided with a fire-rescue vehicle on a LaGuardia runway. Forty-one people were hospitalized (39 from the aircraft, 2 firefighters). LaGuardia was closed and the FAA issued a ground stop. The NTSB launched a go-team to investigate possible communication breakdowns and whether the air traffic controller was working alone; authorities say there is no foul play suspected.
