Flight attendant thrown from Air Canada plane survives in a 'total miracle'

Key Points:

• A flight attendant, Solange Tremblay, survived being thrown from an Air Canada plane after it collided with a fire truck at New York's LaGuardia Airport, despite being strapped into her seat.
• Tremblay sustained multiple fractures to one leg and requires surgery but is otherwise okay, according to her daughter, Sarah Lepine, who described the survival as a "total miracle."
• The collision occurred as the plane, carrying over 70 passengers, was landing and hit a fire truck responding to another plane's issue, resulting in the destruction of the plane's nose and the deaths of the pilot and copilot.
• Aviation safety expert Jeff Guzzetti noted that Tremblay's survival was likely aided by the robust four-point restraint seat designed for crew members, which can withstand greater crash forces than regular passenger seats.
• The incident echoes a 2013 crash where flight attendants were injured after being thrown from an aircraft, highlighting the dangers faced by crew during severe accidents.
