Revision History

Two pilots were killed on March 22, 2026, when Air Canada Express Flight 8646 collided with a fire truck on a LaGuardia Airport runway after an air traffic controller cleared both onto the same surface. A CNN review of government records found that pilots had filed at least a dozen safety warnings about air traffic control errors and near-misses at LaGuardia over the preceding two years, with one pilot pleading "Please do something" months before the fatal crash.
