Chapter 2: What happened in the LaGuardia Airport collision?
New York's LaGuardia Airport may be reopening at least one runway this hour following last night's deadly collision. Two pilots were killed when their Air Canada regional jet out of Montreal collided into a fire truck during landing. Local authorities say... About 40 passengers and crew members were taken to area hospitals, some with serious injuries.
The region's Port Authority Chief Catherine Garcia says the fire truck was responding to a separate incident aboard a United Airlines flight when it was strutted.
The vehicle was responding to another aircraft operated by United that had reported an issue with odor.
President Trump says the U.S. and Iran could be meeting soon about ending the war, flanked by senior administration officials at an anti-crime event in Memphis this afternoon. Trump spoke to the audience about the Iran war.
Based on preliminary conversations between the United States and Iran over the past two days, I've directed the Department of War to temporarily postpone planned strikes against major energy and electricity targets in Iran.
NPR's Aya Batraoui has more on that story.
Trump says that based on the tenor and depth of the conversations, he's instructed the U.S. military to hold off on striking any Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for five days as talks continue throughout the week. But Iran says there is no dialogue with Washington.
Iran's state broadcaster published a statement from the Iranian Foreign Ministry saying that while there are efforts by countries in the region to reduce tensions, Trump's statement is aimed at reducing energy prices in order to gain time to implement his military plans. Iran had threatened to target power plants in Dubai and other Gulf Arab cities if its power plants are bombed.
