LGA RUNWAY COLLISION

To All Pilots:

As we all process the devastating news of the accident involving Flight AC8646 this past evening at LaGuardia Airport (LGA), our hearts are with the families and colleagues of the crew members we lost. The flight, a CRJ-900 operated by Jazz Aviation LP, was carrying 72 passengers and four crew members. We are heartbroken to confirm that the captain and first officer did not survive the accident.
