Passengers on an Air Canada flight experienced terrifying moments when their plane crashed into a truck at LaGuardia Airport. A flight attendant was ejected during the impact, according to a passenger's account. Despite the chaos, passengers managed to open emergency exits and evacuate themselves from the damaged aircraft.

Emergency responders rushed to the scene as smoke filled the cabin. Passengers reported bracing for a rough landing before the crash occurred, not fully understanding what had happened until after evacuation began. The quick thinking of passengers opening emergency doors likely prevented more serious injuries.

Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident that occurred on March 23, 2026. The crash raises questions about ground operations safety at one of New York's busiest airports. Air Canada has not yet released an official statement about the incident or the condition of those onboard.
