| Decades of aircraft and ground vehicle near misses at LGA preceded fatal crash |
| Several near-misses between aircraft and ground vehicles at New York City’s LaGuardia Airport (LGA) preceded the late-night March 22 runway collision between an Air Canada Jazz CRJ 900 and a firetruck which killed both pilots and seriously injured dozens, according to a review of public safety data by The Air Current. Safety reports in public databases show a long history of runway incursions and near-collisions on the ground at the geographically constrained New York City airport. Some of them appeared to have taken place under similar circumstances to the March 22 accident, which occurred as an airport fire truck crossed runway 4, which the CRJ was landing on, while responding to another aircraft experiencing an emergency at the other side of the airport. Will Guisbond/The Air Current | | | | | | | | | | | Decades of aircraft and ground vehicle near misses at LGA preceded fatal...
