Amazing the flight attendant escaped unscathed.  Thank goodness NY's finest are there.  More to come, for sure.

The two officers ejected from the truck are in stable condition with a variety of broken bones including ribs and limbs.

 

Most of the passengers taken to local hospitals have been released,  but a few remain with serious injuries. 

 

No official word yet on the status of the miraculously saved flight attendant.

 

I can't wait to hear her story of survival.

A plane can't stop or evade as quickly as a truck.

Why didn't the fire truck see the plane?

The usual suspects.

Very sad and so unecessary.

I read that an air traffic controller was overheard saying he'd 'messed up'. Don't know if that's true, but if so, 'messed up' is quite an understatement. This is horrible. Glad not to be flying anymore.
