LaGuardia Crash: New Details Emerge

0:00A new report from the National Transportation Safety Board dropped some key details on that deadly crash at LaGuardia Airport back on March. 22. An air-Canada express plane slammed into an emergency truck while lining up to land, killing two young Canadian pilots and seriously injuring six others. The truck was clear to cross the runway, but the operator heard urgent radio calls saying, stop, stop, stop on the tower frequency. At first, he wasn't sure it was for him until they called out truck one stop, stop, stop. He then realized they'd rolled onto the runway and spotted the plane's lights as they turned left. Both air traffic controllers on shift had at least 18 years of experience and had only been working less than one hour. This preliminary report sheds light on those tense moments, but the full investigation is still underway to figure out exactly what went wrong. Investigators will keep digging into communications and procedures to prevent this from happening again at busy spots like LaGuardia. That's your Canada News Today of Ding, AI powered and always on.
