Latest reports are 2 dead, several critically injured, and many more minor injures. Looking at the photos I find it hard to believe it to be a survivable event for the pilots, and probably at least critical injuries for the jumpseat FA and rows 1 and 2.
edit: not to mention the firefighters in the truck

What a horrific event! Following the crash at DCA and this I hope we can get the momentum needed to get more air traffic controllers, its clear to me that theyre overworked and also potentially underpaid.

Was checking travel advisory for AC tomorrow and they claim LGA is closed due to political activity?! 
correct, looks like they were cleared to land, then ATC cleared the firetruck to cross active runway while perhaps forgetting the AC was coming in hot. But stop notice came too late
