@Free_Press Any casualties in the fire truck?
@rayhindle @Free_Press As per the story in the Globe & Mail: “NBC News, citing sources, said the fire truck was manned by police officers. It had earlier said a sergeant and an officer had broken limbs and were in stable condition at a hospital.”

@rayhindle @Free_Press Yes. 13 injured (pax and firefighters) in hospital, 2 pilots dead. Per aviation herald impact was probably at roughly 100mph. ATC cleared truck to cross runway while plane was landing, truck was unable to stop. Single controller on duty at LGA was handling four roles and short of sleep.

This is on Trump for ratfucking the federal budget ...

@Free_Press Traffic control was too late with a warning about the runway being blocked, I understand. There are many reasons these days why flying to the USA is hazardous.
