National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigators are expected to provide an update Tuesday on the deadly Air Canada crash that killed both pilots after their plane collided with a Port Authority fire truck while landing on the runway on Sunday night.

The flight was carrying 72 passengers and four crew members, with more than 40 people hospitalized following the crash.

The two pilots have been identified as Antoine Forest and Mackenzie Gunther.

The two occupants of the fire truck were taken to hospital but are expected to be released.

The crash caused LaGuardia — the New York region’s third busiest flight hub — to shut down during what was already a disruptive time at American airports because of a partial government shutdown.
