NEW YORK (AP) — Investigators are continuing to delve into what caused the high speed crash between an Air Canada jet and a fire truck at New York’s LaGuardia Airport. The collision Sunday killed the pilots and injured several others. But stories of survival are also emerging, including that of a flight attendant, found injured but alive outside the aircraft. Passengers opened emergency exit doors, jumped off the wings and then turned around to catch the others. Officials say the fire truck was crossing the tarmac after being given permission to check on another plane reporting an odor onboard. The crash temporarily shut down LaGuardia during what was already a messy time at U.S. airports.
