The doomed Air Canada flight 8646's cockpit recorder has revealed how the flight turned from routine to tragedy in a matter of minutes on Sunday.
Both the pilot and co-pilot were killed in that tragedy, and more than 40 people sustained injuries when the plane crashed into a fire truck at LaGuardia Airport in New York City around midnight.

The jet was said to be traveling fast at 105 mph when it rammed into a fire truck, as seen in a shocking video footage.

The fire truck involved in this crash was not equipped with a key device to track the movements around the runway, and it's not yet clear if the driver could hear the air tower's desperate pleas to stop, as per the NTSB officials.
