VIDEO: Footage shows the moment Air Canada jet crashed in New York

Just-released video footage shows the moment that an Air Canada just crashed into an emergency vehicle at New York’s LaGuardia Airport.

The video shows the jet travelling at a high-rate of speed as the emergency vehicle crosses into its path.

Aviation officials say two Air Canada pilots were killed late Sunday when their flight from Montreal crashed into a rescue vehicle on a runway at New York’s LaGuardia Airport.

Kathryn Garcia with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey says 41 people were taken to the hospital and that 32 have since been released.

She says nine people remain in the hospital and that some are in serious condition.

A statement from Jazz Aviation, a regional partner of Air Canada, says 72 passengers and four crew members were on board the plane when it crashed.

Photos show the jet with its cockpit destroyed, wires and flight controls dangling out from the fuselage.

Garcia says the airport will remain closed until at least Monday afternoon as federal aviation experts investigate.
