LaGuardia crash: two Air Canada pilots identified as probe widens

Two Air Canada Express pilots, Antoine Forest and Mackenzie Gunther, were killed when their Jazz Aviation-operated CRJ-900 collided on the ground with a Port Authority fire truck at LaGuardia during landing. Dozens were injured, and a flight attendant survived after being ejected from the aircraft. The NTSB recovered the cockpit voice recorder intact and is analyzing the flight data recorder alongside ATC data and surveillance footage as investigators probe communications and staffing. DHS-related delays briefly hindered access to the crash site, and unions and airline leaders mourned the losses while investigators gather evidence to determine what happened.
