At least two people are dead and LaGuardia is completely shut down after an airplane crashed into a fire truck late Sunday night. Oh, and as if things aren’t bad enough already, ICE will begin “working” (shooting people) at airports Monday morning thanks to the MAGA shutdown of TSA, so I’d recommend just canceling all travel plans. You’d have to be literally out of your mind to step foot in an American airport right now. Via CNN:
The Federal Aviation Administration has issued a ground stop at LaGuardia Airport in New York due to an “aircraft emergency.” The New York City Fire Department said it responded to a reported incident involving a plane and vehicle on the airport’s runway at around 11:38 p.m. The NTSB told CNN it received notification of the incident but couldn’t provide more information.
