Mangled plane in LaGuardia crash is towed from runway as most injured passengers leave hospital
All but four of the passengers injured in Sunday’s deadly collision between an Air Canada plane and a fire truck at New York's LaGuardia Airport have been released from the hospital. The airline made the announcement Wednesday, as crews began towing the wreckage of the plane off a LaGuardia runway. Workers were seen lifting the jet’s tail end onto a large dolly, which was then towed by two vehicles using long tethers. The plane originated in Montreal and was carrying 76 people during Sunday's collision, which killed two pilots. Roughly 40 people were treated at hospitals for injuries, some serious.
