Just before the deadly collision between an Air Canada plane and a fire truck at New York’s LaGuardia Airport, several events happened in quick succession. See what went wrong.

President Donald Trump voted by mail in Tuesday’s special election for the Florida House even as he suggested that “mail-in voting means mail-in cheating.” He also voted by mail in the January primary.
