New York’s LaGuardia airport was so busy last Sunday before an Air Canada (AC.TO) jet collided with a fire truck that additional staff should have been brought in to help, several current and former US air traffic controllers said. Weather-related delays resulted in 70 commercial flights taking off or landing at the airport between 10 p.m.
An Air Canada flight attendant who was thrown from the plane during the crash at LaGuardia has been seen in her hospital bed for the first time— as her daughter described horrific injuries she is recovering from.
Solange Tremblay, a 26-year veteran flight attendant, was hurled more than 320 feet when she was ejected from Jazz flight 8646 inbound from Montreal after it.
