What happened in the LaGuardia Airport crash?
This is a Fox News alert. A deadly crash has closed a major New York City airport. I'm Dave Anthony. It happened in LaGuardia just before midnight when an Air Canada Express flight from Montreal collided with a fire truck right after landing. We stopped really quickly, and then about two seconds later, we just had an absolute slam. Everybody was flying everywhere. I mean, the plane started veering off left and right. The truck got clearance to cross the runway, but then, as heard on LiveATC.net... But it was too late.
We know two pilots were killed in this collision.
Fox is CB Cotton at Columbia, LaGuardia.
The fire truck was responding to a separate issue. The two people in the fire truck are expected to be okay. The Port Authority says as of right now, a total of 41 passengers and crew members were taken to the hospital and 32 people were released.
LaGuardia is closed in New York until this afternoon, and that has canceled more than 500 flights to and from there, adding to an air travel problem getting worse with hours-long security lines at some airports. As TSA agents keep working without pay in a Homeland Security funding showdown in Congress, some aren't showing up. And as Democrats keep demanding immigration enforcement reform to fund DHS, they do not like this new plan. Starting today, ICE agents being deployed to help at some airports.
Borders are Tom Homan says ICE agents will be at the airports where the wait times are the longest. He indicates that their roles could be pretty limited, helping TSA workers at terminal exits and entries. TSA staff can then focus on the duties that do require specialized training like X-ray screening.
That's Fox's Madeline Rivera. President Trump's countdown for Iran to stop blocking oil shipping ends tonight, or else the president says the U.S. would attack energy facilities and power plants in Iran. Iran has threatened to retaliate and hit energy facilities in the Middle East. America's listening to Fox News.

Again, our top Fox News story. LaGuardia Airport closed in New York City until this afternoon, canceling more than 500 flights to and from there after a late-night collision. An Air Canada Express plane hit a fire truck right after landing. The two pilots were killed, dozens of others injured, and more now on the issue of affecting even more air travelers.
As President Trump plans to send ICE agents into airports to help with travel checkpoints, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said TSA employees have been faced with providing for their families without a regular paycheck for more than a month. On ABC's This Week, Secretary Duffy made a promise.
They're going to get paid. They're going to get paid for all the time that was missed. The problem is they're living in the today, not the tomorrow.
For those TSA agents who have been reporting to work, Secretary Duffy did not have encouraging news, saying long airport checkpoint lines will likely get worse before they get better. Grinnell Scott, Fox News.
And this could make it more difficult to end that funding standoff in Congress. President Trump posted on True Social he doesn't want to make a deal with Democrats he calls crazy and country-destroying until they join Republicans approving a voter ID bill. That includes a proof of citizenship requirement. Democrats opposed that, saying the restrictions could make it difficult for millions of Americans to vote. On Wall Street, the selling may continue this morning. Dow futures are down about 400 points as oil prices rise modestly. In the NCAA men's basketball tournament, the defending champs knocked out. And here we go. 8.9 to play. Sturge with the catch. Sturge bounce pass to the corner. Bulgaris for three.
That ended up the game-winning shot for Iowa with about four seconds left, beating Florida, a number one regional seed, 73-72 on TBS.
