Flight Attendant Survives Horror Crash at LaGuardia – Ejected 320 Feet but Still Alive!
Air Canada Express Flight Slams Into Fire Truck on Runway
Senior flight attendant Solange Tremblay endured a hair-raising collision when Air Canada Express Flight 8646 crashed into a fire truck at LaGuardia Airport. Seated just behind the cockpit, Tremblay was flung over 320 feet across the tarmac—yet miraculously stayed strapped into her jump seat and conscious.
“A total miracle,” said her daughter Sarah Lépine.
Experts Credit Safety Gear for Incredible Survival
With the cockpit completely destroyed beside her, aviation experts hail Tremblay’s survival as nothing short of astonishing. Her four-point harness jump seat, designed to withstand brutal crashes, is being credited with saving her life.
Severe Injuries, Grueling Recovery Ahead
- Two shattered legs with open fractures
- Fractured spine
- Extensive skin grafts to repair deep abrasions
- Blood transfusion after complications
Solange faces multiple surgeries and a long rehabilitation to walk again. Meanwhile, her family has launched a GoFundMe to help cover mounting medical bills and lost income.
“My mother dedicated her entire life as a flight attendant and was very proud of her work,” said Sarah. “Right now, my mum needs your help.”
