Air Canada employees leave hospital after crash
Three Air Canada employees left NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst on Monday afternoon.
The employees, wearing red scarves and maple leaf knit caps, declined to comment as they walked out of the hospital, referring any questions to the airline.
One man gave a thumbs up before walking down the hospital ramp and entering a waiting van.
A Port Authority police vehicle has remained parked outside the Elmhurst emergency room through most of the day, after several people from the impacted flight were brought to the hospital.
Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a statement, “ My heart goes out to the families of the two pilots, Canadian pilots — certainly a very tragic outcome — and also the dozens of individuals who were injured, some seriously, some have already been discharged in the hospital."
