The scene at Elmhurst Hospital

There were no immediate signs Monday morning of family members or the injured at Elmhurst Hospital following the crash at LaGuardia Airport. The emergency room was packed with other patients waiting to see doctors.

Dozens of travelers were transported to the Queens hospital, not far from airport.

Signs on the parkways and the Long Island Expressway warned travelers that LaGuardia was closed and to check flights.
