You can see the plane barrel right into the vehicle and burst into flames on Sunday night in the video that’s making the rounds on X.
Dozens of passengers were injured. Officials say the Air Canada Express regional jet landing in Queens early Monday collided with a Port Authority fire truck. The plane left Montreal, Canada Sunday night.
There were 72 passengers and 4 crew members on board — and 41 people were injured, according to Kathryn Garcia, executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the airport.
Garcia said LaGuardia was expected to be shut down until at least 2 PM Monday, meaning all planes are grounded, with none arriving.
