New surveillance video shows the moments an Air Canada regional jet and a firetruck collided on the ground at New York’s LaGuardia Airport on Sunday night, resulting in the death of the two pilots.

The ATC audio reveals seconds runway collision leading to fatal impact. The audio confirms: a systemic failure in runway incursions

Passengers from the flight are speaking out on what happened inside the plane as investigators search for what caused the deadly crash.

Watching the video gives chill pimples. Here are 2 young pilots @ the prime of their flying career who have safely travelled many miles only to land then meet their gruesome end.

They came in via the cockpit and now will be leaving via the cargo hood. What a world! Rest in peace pilots. Speedy healing to the wounded.

The ATC killed those pilots....

It’s sad that multiple crashes have happened in the uSA in recent times. If it were any other developing country, we would have blamed it on inexperience. But the almighty USA is messing up here bad needs to get its act together.

That airport is poorly lit and it is no brainer that visibility will be very poor. Truck is supposed to have a warning flashing light with reflective luminescent colours too but it was a struggle to see the truck.

Finally, are the trucks not supposed to stop when airplanes are landing ni and can they not have a traffic warden on ground especially during such brief period instead of relying on controllers who are several metres away.

It was an active runway controllers don't stay on active runways they guide the pilots to taxi into it. Besides the truck driver and passenger should have looked before entering the runway even though they were cleared by the ATC to cross. From the video they didn't look they just tried to cross. If they had looked they would have seen the plane. Landing planes are usually very noisy and difficult not to notice. The ATC and the truck driver are at fault here.

Trump has done absolutely nothing to uplift America.

As we speak, the TSA's not reporting to work.

They haven't been paid for months.

Trump blocked the bill that would have granted them their pay 10 times already.

He and Musk gutted air traffic controllers using DOGE as the excuse

He has to be dealt with .

I listened to the air traffic controller's comms with the airplane.

Wasn't the pilot's fault nor the truck's.

ATC had too much to handle at that moment.

You could blame him and his team but it's clear they were overwhelmed.

This was a very careless mistake.it doesn’t even make sense . What do you mean stop stop stop stop. And the truck is blind as well.

Does airport control crews should be fired.
