New Video Shows Air Canada Jet Erupting On Impact With Fire Truck At LaGuardia

Dramatic footage from LaGuardia Airport in New York captured the instant that Air Canada Express flight AC8646 plowed into a fire truck late Sunday night.

The Bombardier CRJ-900, a relatively small jet that seats 76–90 and is used for commuter travel, crashed into a Port Authority fire truck. As The Daily Wire previously reported, two pilots were killed and more than a dozen passengers were injured in the collision.

The video shows the plane heading down the runway and a line of emergency vehicles with flashing lights approaching at right angles to the plane. The plane crashes into the first vehicle in that line and grinds to a halt.

Jazz Aviation issued a statement regarding the crash: “Flight 8646 was en route to LaGuardia (LGA) from Montréal (YUL). The preliminary passenger list indicates the aircraft was carrying 72 passengers and 4 crew members, although this is subject to confirmation. The incident occurred at approximately 11:47 PM on March 22, 2026.”
