Strapped-In Air Canada Flight Attendant Was Ejected in Crash

A flight attendant on the Air Canada flight was ejected from the plane during the Sunday night crash at LaGuardia Airport that killed the two pilots and seriously injured several others. The unnamed attendant is alive and was found by rescuers still strapped to her jump seat, according to the New York Post. It’s unclear how severe her injuries are. The crash occurred Sunday night at approximately 11:47 p.m. when an Air Canada flight incoming from Montreal collided with a Port Authority Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting vehicle as it was responding to a separate incident on the runway. The attendant was one of four crew members and 72 passengers on Air Canada AC8646. The brutal collision immediately killed the two pilots manning the plane, and at least 41 people were sent to the hospital to be treated for their injuries. As of Monday morning, 32 of those people have been released. The two police officers inside the fire truck are being treated for broken bones and are among those considered seriously injured.
