Investigators converge on New York’s LaGuardia Airport after pilots killed in plane collision with fire truck





• LaGuardia collision: New York’s LaGuardia Airport was closed for hours after an Air Canada plane collided with a fire truck while landing Sunday night. The pilot and copilot were killed and both fire officers were injured, officials said. The National Transportation Safety Board gave an update this evening and said it hopes to have more details tomorrow.



Major airport reopens: The New York’ region’s third-biggest airport resumed flights around 2 p.m. ET. The closure added to nationwide travel turmoil tied to the partial government shutdown.

• Dozens hurt: The jet hit the Port Authority fire truck on a runway at 104 miles per hour, preliminary analysis indicates. Air traffic control had cleared both to be on the runway. More than 43 people were hospitalized and “many” have since been released, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said.
