Nine people hospitalised and airport closed after landing plane hits fire truck responding to separate incident
The pilot and co-pilot of an Air Canada Express regional jet have been killed after it collided with a fire truck while landing at New York’s LaGuardia airport, in an incident that closed the airport.
The collision also caused serious injuries with nine people in hospital. It happened as a firefighting vehicle was responding to a separate incident, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs the airport.
The Air Canada Express CRJ-900 plane, operated by its partner Jazz Aviation, was carrying 72 passengers and four crew members from Montreal, based on a preliminary passenger list that remained subject to confirmation. Jazz is owned by Chorus Aviation.
A dozen more pilots were injured?
Due to airline cutbacks we’re all pilots now.
Maybe the real treasure were the planes we stole along the way.
They came home with 12 gallons of milk because they had eggs.

A wife sends her programmer husband to the store.
She says, “Buy a gallon of milk. If they have eggs, get a dozen.”
When the husband returns, he’s carrying twelve gallons of milk?
“Why did you buy twelve gallons of milk” asks the wife.
“Because they had eggs” says the husband.
