Plane and firetruck cleared from LaGuardia runway after crash

What happened: A plane and a firetruck involved in a crash were removed from a runway at New York's LaGuardia Airport, which had been blocked by the wreckage.

Why it matters:

  • The incident temporarily disrupted operations at one of the airport's two runways.
  • Passengers and airlines experienced delays due to restricted runway access.

MNN Take: Clearing the wreckage allowed LaGuardia Airport to resume normal runway use, minimising further travel disruption.
