"Jennifer Homendy, chair of the NTSB, stated, 'Our air traffic control specialist was in line with TSA for three hours until we called in Houston to beg to see if we can get her through so we can get her here.'"
"Homendy described the situation as 'a really big challenge' to quickly assemble the full investigation team due to TSA delays and other air travel issues."
"The incident involved Flight AC8646, which collided with a Port Authority rescue vehicle on the runway shortly after landing, prompting an urgent warning from air traffic control."
"As of Monday evening, one runway at LaGuardia remains closed due to the wreckage and ongoing investigation needs."
The NTSB is investigating a crash involving an Air Canada regional jet that killed two pilots at LaGuardia. Delays in assembling the investigation team were caused by TSA lines and a temporary ground stop at Newark. The incident occurred shortly after the aircraft landed, colliding with a Port Authority rescue vehicle. One runway at LaGuardia remains closed for investigation. The NTSB is still gathering data and conducting interviews to understand the circumstances surrounding the crash.
