An Air Canada passenger plane smashed into a rescue truck at New York’s LaGuardia Airport late Sunday — killing two pilots and hospitalizing 41 others in the horrific crash that obliterated the front of the jet and forced the major travel hub to close for most of Monday.

Emergency vehicles swarmed Runway 4 at the Queens airport after a regional jet landing from Montreal struck a rescue truck responding to a separate incident just before 11:40 p.m.

Horrific images showed the front of the commuter plane obliterated and tilted up in the air, with debris and cables hanging from the mangled cockpit.
