The trouble for Air Canada Express Flight 8646 began with a problem on a different plane
The trouble for Air Canada Express Flight 8646 began with a problem on a different plane.
It was a misty Sunday night at New York’s LaGuardia Airport, almost midnight. As the Canadian regional jet flew from Montreal toward the airport, a United plane that hadn’t yet taken off from LaGuardia needed help: Flight attendants were feeling ill from a strong odor in the cabin, audio transcripts with air traffic controllers show.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey dispatched a fire and rescue truck to assist the United plane. Meanwhile, in the skies above, Air Canada passenger Rebecca Liquori was dozing in her seat by the exit row after a quick weekend trip to Montreal for a relative’s baby shower. The return flight had been delayed by a couple of hours, and Liquori, 35, of North Baldwin, New York, was exhausted.

An announcement on board woke Liquori. “If this flight has an emergency landing,” she recalled a flight attendant saying over the loudspeaker as the plane started descending, “don’t take your luggage with you. Just exit quickly.”
