0:13.8

several breaking news stories, including the deadly collision overnight at LaGuardia Airport.

0:19.3

And we now have video of the moment of the impact,

which we want to warn you, some viewers may find disturbing. This is the moment captured on CCTV

footage showing an Air Canada plane colliding with a fire truck on the runway that was responding

They want to make a deal. And we are very willing to make a deal.
