A fire truck was trying to cross runway 04 at LGA - LaGuardia Airport this evening to get to a United Airlines flt 2384 that had 2 rejected takeoffs. The United 737 Max declared an emergency on the ground and requested fire trucks due to a strange odor that was making the flight attendants sick.
The fire “TRUCK 1” was cleared to cross runway 04 to respond to the United flight when it collided with the Air Canada / Jazz CRJ. Listen to the audio via @theATCapp gives you an idea of how task saturated LaGuardia Control Tower became trying to deal with this emergency and caused another emergency that ended in loss of life. 🙏
@TTCnotices Saw this today on College St & Shaw. Looks like the streetcar track has buckled slightly next to the potholes.
I called 311 and thought I’d message you as well. @TTChelps
@airtransat Long lines at passport control. Lots of Canadians on TS 765 still in line. Please send an agent to passport control to help direct passengers who need to board now.
Incredible performance by @springsteen and the E Street Band!
The Boss sang for 3 hours straight and exuded a level of energy that people half his age would be envious of. Simply amazing!
@TorontoPolice Thank you to the officer who was directing traffic on Bremner after tonight’s Springsteen show. We appreciated her efforts to get us a taxi.
“How could I be sure it wasn’t a spoof call?”
2024 physics laureate Geoffrey Hinton received a phone call from Stockholm in the early hours in a hotel room in California. Multiple Swedish accents helped reassure him that his #NobelPrize in Physics, awarded today, was real.
Absolutely heartbreaking to see these drone shots of Toronto’s St. Anne’s church. It’s completely gutted. So much beauty, so much history, destroyed within hours.
