Federal investigators say a runway warning system didn't sound an alarm before an Air Canada jet and a fire truck collided at New York's LaGuardia Airport. The head of the National Transportation Safety Board said Tuesday that the system didn't work as intended because the fire truck did not have a transponder. The plane carrying more than 70 people slammed into the fire truck while landing late Sunday night. The two pilots were killed and several passengers were injured. But most were able to escape the mangled aircraft. Investigators don't know yet whether the two people in the fire truck heard the control tower's frantic, last-second warnings to stop before pulling into the plane's path.
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 check on 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 temporarily shut down LaGuardia — the New York region's third busiest hub — during what was already a messy time at U.S. airports. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says LaGuardia is "well-staffed" but still faces a shortage of air traffic controllers.

Commuter rail service in Catalonia, Spain, was suspended Wednesday after a Barcelona train crash killed one person and injured 37 others. The crash happened Tuesday night when a train hit a retaining wall near Gelida. This incident follows Spain's worst railway disaster since 2013, which occurred Sunday in southern Spain, raising the death toll to 43. Authorities are investigating both crashes. Rail disruptions Wednesday caused significant traffic jams into Barcelona. Spain's railway operator said heavy rainfall likely caused the retaining wall to collapse. Three days of national mourning are underway as officials continue their investigations.
A private jet carrying Libya's military chief and four other people has crashed after takeoff from Turkey's capital, Ankara, killing everyone on board. Turkey said the Libyan military chief was in Ankara for high-level defense talks aimed at boosting military cooperation between the two countries and to address regional issues. Libyan Prime Minister Abdul-Hamid Dbeibah confirmed the death of Gen. Muhammad Ali Ahmad al-Haddad and the others, saying in a statement on Facebook that the "tragic accident" took place as the Libyan delegation was "returning from an official trip to Ankara." He called it a "great loss" for Libya.
