A serious incident occurred at LaGuardia Airport in New York City when an Air Canada aircraft collided with a vehicle on the runway. The airport suspended flights due to an “emergency situation.” The aircraft, Air Canada flight 8646 from Montreal, collided with the vehicle while landing at approximately 130 mph (210 km/h). Audio recordings from the control tower reveal the controllers’ concern and the immediate order for the vehicle to stop.
