Air Canada Crash: Most Passengers Released, Investigation Continues

In a relief for passengers, most injured from the Air Canada jet-fire truck collision at LaGuardia Airport have been discharged from the hospital. The crash, which killed two pilots and involved a plane carrying seventy people, occurred when the fire truck was cleared to cross the runway just seconds before impact. Investigators are still determining the cause of the accident, with some injuries listed as serious. The four remaining patients conditions were not immediately disclosed. Passengers praised the pilots quick thinking, which helped many escape the wreckage. The crash shut down one runway for days, and crews began clearing the site on Wednesday, uprighting the flipped fire truck and hauling the planes tail and body to a hangar. Air Canada plans to reunite passengers with their belongings as the investigation continues.
