航空公司周三表示，周日加拿大航空一架飞机与消防车发生致命碰撞后受伤的乘客中，除四人外均已出院，工作人员已开始将纽约拉瓜迪亚机场跑道上严重损毁的飞机移离现场。
纽约与新泽西港务局发言人在提供给哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的声明中表示，正在努力确保跑道”不迟于周五上午”重新开放。
“随着飞机和消防车的移走，我们正在检查跑道状况，以确保其符合美国联邦航空局（FAA）的规定并能安全重新开放，”发言人补充道，该消防车已被移至”安全地点作为证据”，供美国国家运输安全委员会（NTSB）调查此次坠机事故。
加拿大航空在周三早些时候的声明中称，飞机残骸已由当局移交。该公司表示，机组人员将”在安全情况下尽快将飞机移至安全机库”。
自周一以来，大部分残骸一直留在停机坪上，阻碍了这个美国最繁忙机场之一的两条跑道中的一条的通行。
周三美国东部时间下午5点前，机场工作人员开始拖走残骸。两辆大型拖车协同作业，同时扶正了自坠机后一直侧翻的严重受损消防车。

飞机尾部被吊起至大型平板车上，随后由两辆并排行驶的车辆通过长绳牵引。当天早些时候，飞机机头大部分残骸（在碰撞中已损毁）被工作人员切割移除。在拖行过程中，飞机中部由仍保持完好的起落架支撑。

此次坠机事故导致两名飞行员死亡。约40人在当地医院接受了不同程度的伤情治疗，其中一些较为严重。关于仍在医院的四人的详细情况暂未公布。
这架从蒙特利尔起飞的飞机（包括机组人员共载有76人）在滑跑时撞上了一辆闯入跑道的消防车。碰撞前几秒钟，空中交通管制员刚刚允许消防车穿越跑道。
碰撞发生后，机上许多乘客成功逃离受损飞机，其中一名空乘人员在座位上仍被固定的情况下被抛到停机坪上，却奇迹生还。
两名飞行员已确认身份：机长安托万·福雷斯特（Capt. Antoine Forest）和副驾驶麦肯齐·冈瑟（First Officer Mackenzie Gunther）。至少一名乘客克莱门特·勒利夫尔（Clément Lelièvre）称赞飞行员”惊人的反应速度”救了他和其他人的命，他提到飞行员在飞机触地时紧急刹车。
卡车上的两名港务局警察部门消防员幸存。
美国国家运输安全委员会主席詹妮弗·霍姆迪在周三接受美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）采访时表示，事故发生时指挥交通的空中交通管制员已于周二深夜接受了NTSB调查人员的询问。霍姆迪还称，周三已对当时塔台内的另一名管制员、主管管制员、空中交通经理和运行主管进行了采访。
她告诉CNN，碰撞发生时当班的两名管制员面临的工作负荷”令人担忧”。
“在这起事故中，我们看到这两名管制员的工作负荷相当大，当时既有紧急情况，又有多个航班需要处理，所以他们的工作负荷很高，”霍姆迪说。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻对2000年以来数十份报告的审查发现，多年来飞行员一直抱怨拉瓜迪亚机场管制员沟通失误和与地面车辆的近距离危险接近。美国联邦航空管理局（FAA）官方跑道入侵数据库显示，自2000年以来至少发生了132起此类事件，其中17起涉及维修、除雪和其他支持车辆在不该进入的时间出现在跑道上。
Wreckage of crashed Air Canada plane being cleared from LaGuardia Airport runway

All but four of the passengers injured in Sunday’s deadly collision between an Air Canada plane and a fire truck have been released from the hospital, the airline said Wednesday, as crews began moving the mangled aircraft off the runway at New York’s LaGuardia Airport.
A spokesperson for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said in a statement provided to CBS News that it was working to have the runway reopened by “no later than Friday morning.”
“With the removal of the plane and truck, we are reviewing the condition of the runway to ensure it meets FAA regulations and can be re-opened safely,” the spokesperson said, adding that the truck was moved to a “secure location as evidence” in the National Transportation Safety Board’s investigation into the crash.
In its own statement earlier Wednesday, Air Canada said that the plane’s debris had been released by authorities. It said its crews would “move the aircraft as soon as it is safe, to a secured hangar.”
Air Canada added that it was cooperating with the NTSB’s investigation.
Since Monday, much of the wreckage had remained on the tarmac, blocking access to one of LaGuardia’s two runways at one of the country’s busiest airports.
Just before 5 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, airport workers began towing the remnants away. Two big tow trucks working in tandem also righted the badly damaged fire truck, which had been laying on its side since the crash.

The jet’s tail end was lifted onto a large dolly, which was then towed via long tethers by two vehicles driving side by side. Earlier in the day, much of the wreckage of the nose, which was obliterated in the collision, was cut away by work crews. As it was towed, the middle of the plane was supported by its own landing gear, which appeared to be intact.

The crash killed two pilots. Roughly 40 people were treated at area hospitals for a range of injuries, some serious. Further details on the four people who remained hospitalized were not immediately available.
The plane, which originated in Montreal, was carrying 76 people, including the crew, when it slammed into the fire truck that had driven out onto the runway. Seconds before the collision, an air traffic controller had cleared the truck to cross the runway.
After the collision, many onboard managed to escape the damaged aircraft, including a flight attendant who survived after being thrown onto the tarmac while still strapped in her seat.
The two pilots have been identified as Capt. Antoine Forest and First Officer Mackenzie Gunther. At least one passenger, Clément Lelièvre, credited their “incredible reflexes” in saving his life and those of others, noting they braked extremely hard just as the plane touched down.
The two Port Authority Police Department firefighters in the truck survived.
In an interview with CNN Wednesday, NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said that the air traffic controller who was directing traffic during the crash was interviewed by NTSB investigators late Tuesday night. Homendy also said that interviews were conducted Wednesday with the other controller who was in the tower at the time, as well as the controller in charge, the air traffic manager and the operation supervisor.
She told CNN that the workload faced by the two controllers who were on shift at the time of the collision was “concerning.”
“In this case, we saw that there was a pretty heavy workload for these two controllers, where you had an emergency going on, you had several flights that they had to attend to, so it was a high workload for them,” Homendy said.
A CBS News review of dozens of reports going back to 2000 found that pilots have complained about controller miscommunication and close calls with ground vehicles at LaGuardia Airport for years. A review of the Federal Aviation Administration’s official database of runway incursions identified at least 132 incidents since 2000, including 17 involving maintenance, snow and other support vehicles being on runways when they should not have been.
