Two air traffic controllers left work early the night of the deadly collision at New York’s LaGuardia Airport earlier this year.
A plane collided with a firetruck at New York’s LaGuardia Airport in March, killing two pilots.
One Canadian flight attendant who was ejected from the plane miraculously survived.
In March, senior Aviation investigators released preliminary findings on what led up to the deadly collision between an Air Canada plane and a firetruck at LaGuardia’s Airport.
Footage of the plane crash shows the Air Canada flight barreling down the tarmac right before it collides with the emergency vehicle.
“Stop, Truck 1. Stop,” the transmission said. “Frontier 4195, stop there please. “Stop, stop, stop, stop,” an air traffic controller can be heard saying over the radio transmission.
The truck didn’t stop in time.
It is unclear if the driver of the firetruck hit the brakes or tried to maneuver out of the way before the collision.
According to CBC, the pilots who died in the crash were identified as pilot Antoine Forest from Coteau-du-Lac, Quebec, and co-pilot MacKenzie Gunther.
The deceased pilots were described as “two young men at the start of their careers.”
Aviation investigators revealed that the firetruck lacked a transponder so the tower couldn’t track the vehicle.
