Crews have removed the mangled wreckage of the Air Canada jet that crashed into a Port Authority fire rescue truck as the probe into what sparked the fatal collision continues.
Port Authority officials confirmed the debris from both the plane and the fire truck have been removed from Runway 4, which was reopened Thursday at 10 a.m.
“Since the removal of the plane and truck late Wednesday, the runway and associated infrastructure has been repaired, inspected and confirmed to meet FAA regulations for safe operation,” a Port Authority spokesman said, adding that the runway’s reopening “will help restore full operational capacity at LaGuardia.
Travelers were still asked to check with their airlines on the status of their flights.
As of Thursday morning, all but four of the passengers injured in the blistering crash had been released from the hospital, officials said.
Air Canada pilot Antoine Forest and First Officer Mackenzie Gunther died after their jet — inbound from Montreal with 72 passengers and two other crew members aboard — smashed into the fire truck Sunday around 11:30 p.m.
The impact left what Jennifer Homendy, chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board, called “a tremendous amount of debris” on the runway that needed to be combed through by investigators.
The NTSB is investigating all facets of the crash, including the possibility that a tower operator gave the emergency vehicle permission to cross the runway without realizing the Air Canada plane was landing there, Homendy said.
