TSB Investigates Cause of Halifax Plane Incident: Tilt and Flames During Landing

 

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) has launched an investigation into a dramatic incident involving an Air Canada Express flight at Halifax Stanfield International Airport. The incident occurred late Saturday night when the Bombardier Q400 aircraft, operated by PAL Airlines, experienced a rough landing that caused the plane to tilt and sparks to fly from its wing, igniting flames.

Passengers on board reported feeling a "massive rumble" upon landing, followed by the sight of sparks and flames, and smoke entering the cabin. Airport spokesperson Tiffany Chase confirmed that the plane, arriving from St. John's, N.L., experienced a suspected landing gear issue, which prevented it from reaching the terminal.

Despite the alarming situation, all 73 passengers and crew members were safely evacuated by bus, with no serious injuries reported. The airport was temporarily closed for about 90 minutes, causing flight diversions and cancellations.

The TSB's investigation aims to determine the exact cause of the landing gear malfunction and assess whether any safety protocols were breached. The aviation community is closely watching the investigation, hoping to prevent similar incidents in the future.
