An Air Canada jet carrying more than 70 passengers collided with a fire truck while landing at New York’s LaGuardia Airport, killing two pilots and injuring several others. Officials say the fire truck was crossing the tarmac late Sunday after being given permission to respond to another plane reporting an odor onboard. Before the collision, an air traffic controller can be heard on airport communications frantically telling the fire truck to stop. The crash shut down LaGuardia — the New York region’s third busiest hub — during what was already a messy time at U.S. airports. Travelers have been facing long security lines due to a government shutdown and the busy spring break travel season.

President Donald Trump was present as the remains of six U.S. service members returned from the Middle East to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. The crew members of an Air Force refueling aircraft were killed last week when the plane crashed over friendly territory in western Iraq while supporting operations against Iran. They were from Alabama, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and Washington state. Wednesday's visit was the second time this month the Republican president has participated in the dignified transfer of service members. The dignified transfer was closed to news media coverage at the request of the families in accordance with military policy.

The U.S. military says a KC-135 refueling aircraft supporting operations against Iran crashed in western Iraq, killing all six crew members. U.S. Central Command, which oversees the Middle East, said the crash followed an unspecified incident involving two aircraft in “friendly airspace,” and that the other plane landed safely. The KC-135 Stratotanker is a U.S. Air Force aircraft used to refuel other planes in midair, allowing them to travel longer distances and maintain operations longer without landing. The plane has been in service for more than 60 years, and has been involved in several fatal accidents. The most recent happened on May 3, 2013, when a KC-135R crashed after takeoff south of Chaldovar, Kyrgyzstan.

An American military refueling plane taking part in the operation against Iran has crashed in Iraq and rescue efforts are underway. It's not immediately clear if there are any casualties. A U.S. official, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss the developing situation, said the KC-135 aircraft that crashed had at least five crew members aboard. U.S. Central Command said Thursday that the crash isn't due to hostile fire or friendly fire. The military says two aircraft were involved and that one landed safely and the other went down in western Iraq. It described the latter as “a loss.”

A small plane attempting an emergency landing crashed into the frigid Hudson River. The pilot and a passenger escaped the wreckage and safely swam to shore. The Federal Aviation Administration says the crash occurred Monday night, shortly after the single-engine Cessna 172 took off from Long Island MacArthur Airport in Ronkonkoma. The pilot had reported engine trouble shortly before the plane went down south of the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge. New York state police said Tuesday that the occupants were a flight instructor and his 17-year-old student. They were treated at a hospital for undisclosed minor injuries and later released.

An official says a cargo plane carrying money has crashed near Bolivia’s capital, damaging about a dozen vehicles on a highway, scattering bills on the ground and leaving at least 15 people dead. Defense Minister Marcelo Salinas said the Hercules C-130 plane was transporting newly printed Bolivian currency when it “landed and veered off the runway” at an airport in El Alto, a city adjacent to the capital of La Paz, before ending up in a nearby field. Fire chief Pavel Tovar said at least 15 people died but he did not clarify if the dead were in the plane or in the cars.

Legislation to require all aircraft flying around busy airports to have key locator systems to prevent midair collisions failed to win approval in the House on Tuesday. The head of the National Transportation Safety Board said the system that her agency has been recommending since 2008 would have prevented last year’s midair collision near Washington, D.C., that killed 67 people. The bill passed the Senate and had the backing of the victims’ families and key unions. It would require all aircraft to be equipped with a system that can receive data about the locations of other aircraft. The complementary system that broadcasts an aircraft’s location is already required.
