Another A320 slams into Halifax runway.....
This morning. Air Canada's A320 enroute from Toronto to Halifax had a hard landing, injuring 20 odd passengers, but no fatalities, thankfully. Seems that there were weather warnings and driving snow at the time of the incident.
Air Canada plane landed short, hit antennas in Halifax accident Quote:

"Hard landing," my ass!
1100 feet short of runway, hit the ILS antennas, lost the landing gear and and an engine? That's a crash. |

I think it's amazing no one was seriously hurt.
Q. Do airlines have insurance on their planes like automobiles? That's got to be an expensive repair or a writeoff... Does the pilot get demerit points on his licence? |
