All but four of the passengers injured in Sunday’s deadly collision between an Air Canada plane and a fire truck at New York's LaGuardia Airport have been released from the hospital. The airline made the announcement Wednesday, as crews began towing the wreckage of the plane off a LaGuardia runway. Workers were seen lifting the jet’s tail end onto a large dolly, which was then towed by two vehicles using long tethers. The plane originated in Montreal and was carrying 70 people during Sunday's collision, which killed two pilots. Roughly 40 people were treated at hospitals for injuries, some serious.

It took less than a minute for a routine landing to spiral into a deadly crash Sunday at New York’s LaGuardia Airport. But a timeline reconstructed from by The Associated Press from air traffic control recordings and information from federal safety investigators and other sources shows that the collision between an Air Canada flight and a fire truck crossing the runway was the culmination of a series of events that began much earlier. Two pilots died in the crash, and several passengers were seriously hurt.

Air traffic controllers will now use radar to ensure that helicopters maintain a safe distance from arriving and departing airplanes in the wake of last year’s fatal midair collision near Washington, D.C. The Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday that recent near-misses show that previous guidelines for pilots to maintain visual separation between helicopters and airplanes have failed to provide adequate protection around busy airports. The new rules apply to more than 150 of the nation’s busiest airports. The January 2025 collision between an American Airlines jet and an Army helicopter killed 67 people, making it the deadliest plane crash on U.S. soil since 2001.
