Two Air Canada pilots, Antoine Forest and Mackenzie Gunther, tragically lost their lives when their plane collided with a fire truck at LaGuardia Airport. The crash, which occurred late Sunday night, also injured 41 people and temporarily closed the airport. Forest, 30, from Québec, had been flying since he was 16 and joined Air Canada in 2022. Gunther, a recent graduate from Seneca Polytechnic in Toronto, had just started his career with the airline. An investigation is underway, focusing on the plane’s cockpit voice and flight data recorders. The incident also saw a miraculous survival story: flight attendant Solange Tremblay was ejected from the plane but survived with multiple fractures. The crash has prompted condolences and reflections on the young pilots’ promising careers cut short.
