This has nothing to do with the actual accident, it the lead up…
I’ve only landed at LGA 30-40 times, but why on God’s green earth would anyone with issues requiring pre-positioned CFR go to LGA? Medical emergency and planned destination, fine…but mechanical. Especially with a large hub at EWR. Maybe it was a post flight or taxi out issue and this report is wrong and they were reacting to an on-field issue.
As always we’ll learn hard lessons taught by the lives of those that were unlucky enough to be there and not us. God bless those lost and their families.
