Eyewitnesses have vividly described the chaos that ensued when Air Canada flight AC8646 crashed into a fire truck on the runway of New York's LaGuardia airport. This unfortunate incident, which occurred late on Sunday, resulted in the deaths of two pilots and left dozens of passengers injured. According to Leo Medina, who was on another plane nearby, the crash was intense, comparing the experience to 'the plane getting cut in half.'
Rebecca Liquori, a passenger on the incoming flight from Montreal, recounted hearing a loud 'boom' right after touchdown. Witnesses reported feeling significant turbulence during descent, and everyone jolted in their seats following the loud noise. As passengers began to evacuate, the scene was filled with panic and chaos, with many helping each other escape through the wings of the plane.
Katie Rojas, another traveler at the airport, expressed her fear about the crash, commenting that it could have easily involved her flight. The incident prompted extensive flight delays and cancellations at LaGuardia, one of the busiest airports in the US. As investigation into the crash continues, the experiences of the survivors paint a harrowing picture of the evening's events.
