On Sunday, an Air Canada Express CRJ-900<\/strong> collided with a Port Authority fire truck while landing at LaGuardia Airport<\/strong>, killing both pilots and injuring 41 passengers and crew. The flight, from Montreal, carried 72 passengers and four crew members.<\/p>\n

Captain Antoine Forest<\/strong>, 29, from Quebec, had trained with Air Saguenay and Canadian Helicopters before joining Jazz Aviation in 2022. First Officer Mackenzie Gunther<\/strong>, a recent graduate of Seneca Polytechnic, had just begun his professional aviation career. Both men were praised by passengers for their efforts during the crash.<\/p>\n

Flight audio reveals escalating tension as the crew dealt with an onboard odor emergency, attempted to secure a gate, and coordinated with ground control. Just before impact, the aircraft struck the fire truck at about 24 mph, leaving responders stunned.<\/p>\n

LaGuardia was closed for hours, emergency crews treated victims, and investigations are ongoing. Passengers described chaos, long delays, and the traumatic aftermath of witnessing the collision firsthand.<\/p>\n
