Investigators probing the deadly collision of an Air Canada Express jet with a fire truck at New York’s LaGuardia airport said on Monday they wanted to interview an air traffic controller who was juggling another emergency in the run-up to the crash.

Nation Transportation Safety Board Chair Jennifer Homendy told reporters at LaGuardia that the controller would be one part of the investigation by the independent federal agency, which would “rule nothing out.”

The accident while landing, which killed both pilots and seriously injured another nine people, has revived concerns over limited air traffic control staffing at major US airport.
