NTSB finds missing runway alarm gear linked to LaGuardia fire-truck collision
The NTSB said a Port Authority fire truck that crossed the LaGuardia runway to check on another aircraft collided with an Air Canada Express jet, killing two pilots. The agency revealed the truck lacked equipment needed to trigger the airport’s runway-warning system, and the crash occurred after the vehicle was cleared to respond to a separate plane, prompting further investigation into procedures and equipment.
