A flight attendant has miraculously survived a deadly crash at New York's LaGuardia Airport on Sunday.
The accident occurred when a Jazz Aviation flight, operating for Air Canada, collided with a Port Authority aircraft rescue and firefighting vehicle on runway four.
The pilot and co-pilot died on the spot, but the flight attendant was found alive and strapped into a jump seat that had been ejected from the aircraft.
According to reports, the crew member was seated near the front of the plane at the time of impact and was thrown from the aircraft, but managed to survive with injuries.
The CRJ-900 aircraft was carrying 72 passengers and four crew members on a flight from Montreal to New York.
More than 40 people were injured in the crash, with 32 of those hospitalized being released. Two individuals inside the firetruck were also injured but are in stable condition.
The National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration have launched a full investigation into the crash.
