Two pilots were killed and dozens were injured on Sunday night after an arriving plane collided with a fire truck on a runway at New York's LaGuardia Airport.

The incident involved Air Canada Flight 8646, which had just landed with 72 passengers and 4 crew members, and a Port Authority fire-rescue vehicle responding to a separate issue on another flight. Air traffic control audio recordings appeared to show a controller had cleared the vehicle to cross the runway before telling it to stop.

"I messed up," one air traffic controller is heard saying on the recording.
