Passengers describe LaGuardia plane crash: ‘Chaos’

NEW YORK (PIX11) – Passengers are speaking out in the aftermath of the plane crash at LaGuardia Airport that killed two people. The crash happened late Sunday night, crushing the nose of the aircraft. Around 40 passengers and crew members were taken to area hospitals, some with serious injuries. Most have since been released from treatment, authorities said Monday. “We went down for a regular landing,” passenger Jack Cabot told CNN. “We immediately hit something and it was just chaos from there. … Everybody was hunkered down and everybody was screaming.” Arturo Davidson said his Miami-bound flight was on the tarmac Sunday night when fellow passengers saw the collision and its aftermath. They were soon told there had been an accident and that the airport was closing, he said later Monday, gazing at a departure board filled with cancellations. This story comprises reporting from the Associated Press.
