The deadly LaGuardia plane crash almost certainly involved “multiple failures,” the lead investigator said Tuesday. National Transportation Safety Board chair Jennifer Homendy said it was “too early” to solely blame the air traffic controller who was heard saying they “messed up” soon after a landing Air Canada jet crashed into a fire truck, killing the two pilots and hospitalizing 41 others.
“We have found in all of our investigations that it is not a single error that led to a terrible tragedy,” Homendy told Fox News’ “Fox & Friends.” “Our aviation system is incredibly safe and it takes multiple failures to occur for an accident like this.” “So we’re going to look very comprehensively.”
