collided with a fire truck.

Video from the aftermath shows the regional jet tipped onto its tail, its nose sheared off, and mangled wreckage hanging down

onto the ground. At times, journalist there said that nearby, a damaged truck was lying on its side

and notifications are being made by Air Canada's care team at this time.

The crash happened as the plane was landing, and the fire truck was out responding to a separate issue,

according to the head of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which oversees the airport.

In response to the crash, officials said no flights would go in or out of LaGuardia until at least 2 p.m. Eastern,

shuttering a critical regional hub that sees nearly 900 flights each day.
