‘A miracle’: Canadian flight attendant ejected from plane survives New York crash

A Canadian flight attendant named Solange Tremblay survived an Air Canada Jazz flight collision at LaGuardia Airport on Sunday after being ejected more than 100 metres from the aircraft while still strapped to her seat. The plane collided with a fire truck on the tarmac, killing two pilots in what investigators are still examining. Tremblay's survival from such violent ejection distance has been described by her daughter as a "complete miracle," making her case extraordinarily rare in aviation accidents. The incident forced a halt to all flights at the airport and has drawn international attention given the severity of the collision and the pilot fatalities.
