## Caption

A source with direct knowledge of the situation says controllers in the tower at the time of the deadly LaGuardia Airport crash may have violated the airport’s procedures by combining positions.

Specifically, that the same controller may have been performing both air and ground duties when the Air Canada jet slammed into a truck crossing the runway.
