The two pilots killed in the collision between a passenger jet and a Port Authority fire truck at New York's LaGuardia Airport late Sunday night have been named as Antoine Forest and Mackenzie Gunther.
The pair have yet to be officially named by authorities, but Canadian news reports and a former college of one of the pilots confirmed the deaths. Port Authority Executive Director Kathryn Garcia confirmed Monday that they had died and were based in Canada.
The Federal Aviation Administration, the National Transportation Safety Board and other agencies are investigating the crash. They will seek to determine how the truck was able to cut across the jet’s path moments after it landed.

The pilots, who were killed, have been credited with saving the lives of the 72 passengers and the two surviving crew members on the plane Sunday night, by quickly braking and minimizing the impact as it crashed into the truck while landing at LGA.
