An Air Canada flight attendant who survived being thrown from a plane as it collided with a fire truck last week has been left with devastating injuries. Solange Tremblay was the senior flight attendant on board Air Canada Express Flight 8646 from Montreal to LaGuardia Airport when it crashed in New York on March 22, claiming the lives of both pilots. Tremblay was in a jump seat at the front of the plane and was hurled 320 feet onto the tarmac during the collision. She suffered two broken legs, spinal damage, and lacerations to her skin from the slide, all while still attached to her seat, her daughter Sarah Lépine revealed in a GoFundMe. Lépine said her mom suffered “shattered legs,” with “open fractures” that require “multiple surgeries where metal plates are needed.” She added that Tremblay “requires skin grafts to repair the missing flesh she lost on her legs while sliding down the tarmac. She even received a blood transfusion due to complications from her first surgery,” and “will have to undergo several other surgeries, along with intensive rehabilitation to learn how to walk again.”
