NTSB releases preliminary report on deadly LaGuardia Airport runway collision between fire truck and Air Canada jet
The NTSB released a preliminary report on the March 22 collision at LaGuardia Airport between a fire truck and an Air Canada Express CRJ900 jet, which killed both pilots. A firefighter heard an air traffic controller warn 'stop, stop, stop' but initially did not know the warning was directed at his vehicle. The report found that a crash prevention system failed to generate alerts and runway entrance lights turned off only three seconds before the collision.
