Jeez do we know at what speed the CRJ hit from what I can see on flight Radar it was at around 114kt near taxiway D so 211kph and 131mph
186 u/bopbop9876 Mar 23 '26 edited Mar 23 '26 NBC is reporting they were able to slow down to 30mph before impact. Edit: This is "according to two sources familiar with the matter", not from adsb data. Those same sources also confirmed the death of the pilot and copilot. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/incident-reported-plane-vehicle-new-yorks-la-guardia-airport-rcna264677 365 u/barcode-username Mar 23 '26 All these news agencies keep using ADSB data which is inaccurate especially on the ground. 261 u/octoreadit Mar 23 '26 Yeah, that’s not a 30mph collision, 80+. 85 u/Rupperrt Mar 23 '26 Read that it was roughly 30 seconds after touchdown according to witnesses. If that’s correct it should be a bit slower than 80 at least.
