The video posted by FDNY Response Videos shows the jet careening down Runway 4 and slamming into a Port Authority fire truck as it was turning with its emergency lights on around 11:45 p.m. on Sunday. 

"Stop, truck one. Stop," the transmission said. "Frontier 4195, stop there please. Stop, stop, stop, stop." 

The aircraft then strikes the fire truck, ripping the nose off the plane.

At the time of the collision, the jet was carrying 72 passengers and four crew members, according to officials. 

Both pilots aboard the CRJ-900 aircraft were killed in the collision, though their identities have not yet been made public.

A Port Authority spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News Digital that the Port Authority Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting vehicle was responding to a separate incident as the aircraft was landing on Runway 4 at LaGuardia.

"I remember looking behind me after we got off and there was some guy with just blood coming off his face," he said. "A lot of people got pretty hurt."

"LaGuardia Airport is now open, expect delays and/or cancellations," airport officials posted on X. "Plan ahead and check with your airline for the latest updates."
