Breaking News : On monday 23.03.2026 , Air Canada Express Flight 8646 and a fire truck collided on LaGuardia’s Runway 4 at around 11:45 p.m. yesterday, killing the two pilots and injuring about 40 people on board and two people in the truck, authorities say.
Officials haven’t released the identities of the two pilots who died yesterday, but passenger Rebecca Liquori said she felt them brake to try to slow the plane down ahead of the crash, protecting the 72 passengers and four crew members as much as they could.
“I’m just so appreciative that they were able to save us, but I’m just so sad that they weren’t able to make it home to their families,” she said, her voice breaking. “I wouldn’t be here had it not been for the pilot acting quickly.”
