Two pilots killed in New York runway collision as Trump sends ICE to airports
NEW YORK/ATLANTA - Two pilots died in a runway accident that shut New York's LaGuardia Airport on Monday, and U.S. President Donald Trump deployed armed immigration agents to help ease long security lines at major airports strained by personnel shortages.The crash between an Air Canada Express jet and a fire truck at LaGuardia injured dozens of passengers and led to hundreds of flight cancellations at the start of the working week in the latest disruption for airports and carriers that have been knocked off-kilter by a weekslong budget standoff in Congress.The crashed jet remained visible at the airport on Monday, its crushed cockpit pointing skyward. Verified CCTV footage showed the landing plane hit the fire truck as it crossed the runway directly in front of the jet.
