"Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said that they retrieved the plane's cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder, both of which will help reconstruct the events that led up to the collision."
"NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said retrieving the devices was challenging due to debris and hazardous materials left from the crash on the airfield, as well as the plane's position."
"The investigation, which began yesterday, will look into air traffic control, procedures, and training, airplane components, documentation, and rescue operations."
"U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said during a separate news conference that LaGuardia is a well-staffed airport, and the national air traffic controller shortage has not affected the hub."
The Air Canada plane crash at LaGuardia Airport on March 22, 2026, resulted in the deaths of two pilots. Investigators from the NTSB recovered the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder, which will assist in reconstructing the crash events. The retrieval was complicated by debris and hazardous materials. The investigation will examine air traffic control procedures, training, and airplane components. The U.S. Department of Transportation confirmed that LaGuardia is adequately staffed, with 33 out of 37 target controllers currently in place.
