This has run its course, and it's just causing furballs. Closed.

Sending good karma and a whole lot of love to the friends and families of those affected. What a tragedy. I spent an hour this morning drafting a company-wide memo about this accident and it sure was dusty in my office.

What the hell did I just read? I don't know, but I deleted like 2 pages of irrelevant and nasty stuff. I wish I had followed this thread more closely from inception, but that's on me.

Let's keep things on topic please, and let's also avoid personal attacks. Warnings and banninations incoming.

A Porter Airlines Embraer E195 arriving from Edmonton slid off the taxiway at John C Munro Airport on Wednesday Feb 18th.

This is the second taxiway excursion in a week for Porter - they had one in YHZ a few days ago.

I removed a whole bunch of off-topic posts. Please try to stick to the original topic.

Transport Canada Guidelines define 3/4SM visibility at night with a temperature below -1C as HEAVY SNOW. Generic Type 4 holdover time in MODERATE SNOW at -16C is 2 to 9 minutes. There is no applicable holdover time given for HEAVY SNOW. It's interesting and noteworthy that the FAA HOT guidelines sa...

The accident report said the crew was IMC on all 4(!) approaches, and they descended below 50' agl in IMC and hit a hill on the 4th approach. Oof.

Wow my mousing hand is cramping from having to delete so many posts. Let's try to keep things on-topic, shall we? I kept any post that remotely had some information regarding the actual topic. I'll keep an eye on this thread and on the Transat forum for a little while; people who can't play nice wil...

Handy guide to blocking posters you don't like on AvCanada: Find a post they made and click on their username. This will take you to their user profile. Find "Add foe" and click on it. You can always undo it later if you wish. The forum software will remove posts of anyone on your foes list, and hig...

Thanks for the update Henri! You have been missed. I hope the nasty germs stick to the left seat warmer and leave you alone.

The RJ that got hit on the nose was cleared all the way into the ramp via M. The other RJ was taxiing out for take off but was told to hold short for the inbound RJ at M. He read the taxi clearance back correctly, but it was a confusing clearance as the controller included "hold short of RW 4 at M"...

At the end of the day, we’re all people. And in this sub-context, we’re all pilots. Skill comes from training, attitude, and experience—not the logo on the uniform. I agree with you. I have hired lots of ex-military personnel, and one thing I noticed is that they have all been respectful, open and ...

What the hell did I just read? I dunno, but I deleted a whole whack of it. Copying and pasting the same post over and over again is annoying, and will quickly lead to vacations.

Welp I deleted almost an entire page of stuff that had nothing to do with the topic. I appreciate that people can be passionate about the topic but there's no need for personal attacks. I totally appreciate the sacrifices that our military people make every day in service of Canada. My grandfather d...

It doesn't look so bad until you notice the gouge marks inside the cowling from the bent blades.

The suspect clearly has some mental health stuff going on. From his Facebook: "I am the messiah sent to save humanity from climate change and usher in an era of world peace." I hope he gets proper help soon. FWIW he graduated from high school in Lloyminster 25 years ago, then went to university in A...

I deleted about 20 posts that were nowhere close to the topic of this accident. Let's try to keep the discussion focused on the actual crash.

it crashed into a heavily populated residential area, which means there are going to be casualties on the ground also. Boeing shares are already down 8% in premarket trading, which is to be expected after a major crash. I agree it looks like the flaps are up, but I don't know the 787 very well. Not ...

I deleted some sweary posts. Let's try to keep this remotely professional, or maybe at least civil.

"I don't care if you shi*y admin ban me, if you allow this f moron clown to write the way he do, f you too...Social media made y'all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it." That's what aviran said in a post that I deleted. That poster can go truck t...

I flew the MU-2 for Thunder a little over 20 years ago. People either loved the MU-2 or hated it, and I loved it. Such a great and terrifying plane.

Thunder was hard work and long hours but the company did their best to play by the rules, such as they were in 2004.

Let's try to keep this on topic, mmmkay.

There are other threads for other topics, this one is about the RJ landing accident at YYZ. The actual accident.
