Overview
- The Air Canada Express CRJ-900, which struck a Port Authority fire truck March 22 at LaGuardia, killed both pilots and sent more than 40 people to hospitals.
- Charlotte Jørgensen said on Instagram that she owes her life to the pilots, shared that recovery has been physically and mentally hard, and said she is at home taking time to heal.
- Reports state the flight carried 72 passengers and four crew from Montreal, no passengers were killed, and most injured people have since been released.
- Air traffic audio published by outlets captured a controller shouting for the jet to stop and later saying "I messed up," which has sharpened scrutiny of procedures.
- The NTSB is examining controller actions and runway access for Port Authority rescue units that were responding to another call, a review that could drive changes to LaGuardia ground-vehicle protocols.
