Landed somewhat dramatically at La Guardia yesterday amidst wind that had shut the airport for much of the previous day and seen half the morning's other flights from Toronto cancelled or turned back.
The bridges across the East and Hudson rivers had been closed and a freight train had been overturned. Learned later from CNN that an airliner on a similar route had crashed upstate. Probably wouldn't have bothered with the trip down here if I'd known this a few hours earlier.
In retrospect I was glad I didn't possess this information during the approach, as my plane bounced, thumped and shuddered its way towards a small runway within a vast built-up area.
