LaGuardia plane crash air traffic control audio reveals frantic call for truck to ‘stop, stop, stop’
Frantic air traffic control audio has been released revealing the moment of the crash that left two pilots dead and at least 42 injured after striking a fire truck Sunday at New York’s LaGuardia airport.
In the moments before the crash, an air traffic controller could be heard on a radio transmission discussing the request for the emergency vehicle to cross part of the tarmac, then trying to stop it.
“Stop, Truck 1. Stop,” the transmission says, which can be heard repeatedly.
The controller can then be heard frantically diverting an incoming aircraft from landing.

The pilot and copilot were killed in the collision, which crushed the nose of the aircraft, while 39 passengers and crew members were taken to area hospitals, some with serious injuries. Most have since been released from treatment, authorities said Monday.
Two Port Authority employees who were traveling in the fire truck also suffered injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening, said Kathryn Garcia, executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the airport.
The pilot and copilot were both based out of Canada, Garcia said during a news conference early Monday.
The airport will remain closed until at least 2 p.m. Monday to facilitate the investigation, which is being led by the National Transportation Safety Board.
There were 72 passengers and four crew members aboard the aircraft, a Jazz Aviation flight operating on behalf of Air Canada, according to a statement from the airline. The flight originated at Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, the major airport serving Montreal.
Photos and videos from the scene showed severe damage to the front of the aircraft, with cables and debris hanging from a mangled cockpit. Nearby, a damaged emergency vehicle lay on its side.
Stairways used to evacuate passengers from the aircraft were pushed up to the emergency exits on the jet, a Bombardier CRJ. The impact left the jet with its crumpled nose tilted upward.

Yankees’ Jasson Dominguez carted off field in tears after crashing into outfield wall after stunning catch
New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez was carted off the field after crashing into the fencing of the outfield wall.
In the first inning of the Yankees matchup against the Texas Rangers at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday, Rangers leadoff hitter Brandon Nimmo ripped the ball to left field off Yankees starter Paul Blackburn.
Dominguez hustled back to the wall and made a spectacular catch, but crashed incredibly hard into the wall. The 23-year-old’s hat and sunglasses popped off his head upon contact with the fencing on the left-field wall.

Dominguez impressively held onto the ball despite the hard collision, but lay face down on the warning track. Yankees center fielder Trent Grisham came over and rested his hand on Dominguez until the medical staff came out.
He remained down for several moments while he received medical attention. Dominguez was eventually helped to the cart, where he appeared to begin crying once seated.
Upon Dominguez’s exit, Cody Bellinger shifted from right to left field, Amed Rosario moved from third base to right field, and Ryan McMahon came off the bench to play third base.

He is being monitored for a concussion, is in concussion protocol, and is also undergoing an MRI on his left shoulder, the YES Network said on its broadcast.
Any long-term injury would be a tough break for the Dominican Republic native. Last season was Dominguez’s first entire season in the big leagues, and he produced. The switch-hitter had a batting average of .257 with 10 home runs, 47 RBI, and 23 stolen bases.
Dominguez was far better from the left side than the right, as he hit .274 as a left-handed hitter compared to .204 as a right-handed hitter.
However, Dominguez struggled mightily in left field last season. With his porous left-field defense and lack of success against left-handed pitching, the Yankees sent Dominguez down to Triple-A to begin the season in 2026.
With Bellinger, Trent Grisham and Aaron Judge in the outfield, there was no space for Dominguez to get regular playing time. Dominguez was called up after Giancarlo Stanton hurt his calf and landed on the IL.
Dominguez was playing in his ninth game of the season when he got hurt.
