A critical runway warning system failed to trigger an alarm before a fatal collision between an Air Canada regional jet and a fire truck at New York’s LaGuardia Airport, because the truck lacked a key device, federal investigators said on March 24.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating the crash that occurred late Sunday evening. The plane’s two pilots were killed, and roughly 40 people were injured and sent to hospitals, including two from the fire truck.
