A flight attendant who was thrown from an Air Canada plane during a crash at New York’s LaGuardia Airport has shared a health update after the shocking accident. The incident happened when the plane collided with a fire truck on the runway while landing.
The aircraft, carrying more than 70 passengers, hit the emergency vehicle during landing, causing major damage to the front of the plane. The pilot and co pilot were killed in the crash, and dozens of people were injured.
One of the most shocking parts of the crash was that a flight attendant who was sitting in a jump seat was thrown out of the aircraft while still strapped into her seat. She was later found injured but alive, which many experts called a miracle.
The flight attendant, who has many years of experience, suffered multiple injuries including a broken leg and required surgery, but doctors say she is expected to survive. Her daughter later said she believes her mother had a guardian angel watching over her.
Investigators believe the crash may have been caused by a miscommunication between air traffic control and the emergency vehicle on the runway. Reports say both the plane and the fire truck may have been cleared to use the runway at the same time.
The crash temporarily shut down LaGuardia Airport and caused major flight delays. Authorities are now investigating the incident and reviewing air traffic control communications to understand exactly what went wrong.
Despite the tragedy and the loss of the pilots, many people online have been talking about the incredible survival of the flight attendant who was thrown from the plane but lived.
