Overview
- The family shared the first hospital photo on Sunday of Solange Tremblay, saying she sustained two shattered legs, a fractured spine, and faces a long rehabilitation.
- Her daughter’s GoFundMe has drawn nearly $190,000 as of Monday to fund multiple surgeries, skin grafts, and time off work for caregiving.
- The runway collision at LaGuardia, which occurred Sunday, March 22, involved an Air Canada Express CRJ900 striking a Port Authority fire truck, killing both pilots and injuring dozens.
- The NTSB says the airport’s ASDE-X ground warning system did not alert because the truck had no transponder, and the agency is analyzing the cockpit voice and flight data recorders in Washington.
- Safety experts note that Tremblay’s wall-mounted jump seat and four-point harness likely helped her survive forces that tore away the jet’s nose, underscoring how crew restraints are built for higher crash loads than standard seats.
