A deadly aviation incident at LaGuardia Airport in New York is under active investigation after a collision between aircraft late Sunday night, around 10:15 p.m. Eastern Time.
Initial reports indicate that a flight attendant aboard an Air Canada plane was fatally injured after being strapped into a jump seat and ejected during the violent impact. Emergency crews responded quickly, and operations at the airport were temporarily disrupted as authorities secured the scene.
Investigators are now working to determine how the collision occurred, focusing on runway coordination, aircraft positioning, and possible communication failures.
Early indications suggest the incident took place during ground movement rather than midair, but officials have not yet released a full sequence of events. The tragedy raises serious concerns about airport safety protocols at one of the busiest air travel hubs in the United States.
