Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is facing calls for resignation following a deadly crash at LaGuardia Airport. The incident, which killed two Air Canada pilots and injured dozens, is reportedly being investigated by the FAA in relation to air traffic control staffing levels. Critics argue Duffy has not adequately addressed these staffing issues, pointing to a previous fatal crash in 2025 and several near-misses as evidence of a systemic problem. The secretary’s recent public appearances, including travel to New York and media interviews, have drawn further criticism for being perceived as politically motivated rather than focused on the crisis.
An Air Canada Jazz Aviation flight collided with a Port Authority Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting vehicle while landing at New York’s LaGuardia Airport, resulting in the deaths of the pilot and copilot. The incident, which occurred around 11:40 p.m. Sunday, also injured dozens of passengers and crew, necessitating the temporary closure of the airport to facilitate an investigation and emergency response. The fire truck had been responding to a separate incident on another part of the airport involving a United flight that reported an odor in its cockpit. The FAA issued a ground stop, and more than 500 flights were canceled as the investigation began into the collision that severely damaged the aircraft’s nose.
An Air Canada flight from Montreal crashed into a rescue vehicle on a LaGuardia Airport runway, killing two pilots. The collision occurred as the rescue vehicle, responding to a separate incident on a United Airlines flight, was crossing the runway, despite air traffic control attempts to stop it. The crash resulted in 41 individuals being hospitalized, with nine remaining in care. The incident led to the closure of the affected runway to facilitate an investigation by the NTSB.
