New York:
A pilot and co-pilot were killed after an Air Canada Express passenger plane collided with a fire truck on a LaGuardia Airport runway late Sunday, according to US media reports. At least 13 people, including two firefighters, were injured when the incoming flight collided with a fire engine on runway 4 of the airport, according to NBC and Sky News reports.
Several videos of the aftermath emerged on social media showing evacuation and rescue operations at the airport. Unverified footage also showed damage to the nose of the plane. NDTV could not immediately verify the footage. The clip showed the front of the commuter plane smashed and tilting in the air as passengers deplaned from the vehicle.
