Fatal Peterborough crash

[Pratt X 3]

from the article: Although he cannot confirm how his son allegedly broke into the airport and stole the plane, Chaudhary said he suspects his son had possibly done it as an “adventure.”

Adventure as in Jihad? They are apparently looking into whether he was trying to get to the Pickering or Darlington nuke plants.

Well thank God he didn't end up crashing into either of those nuke plants! OPG would have needed to hire someone at great expense to clean the little black smudge left on the thick concrete and lead containment building and then my Hydro bill would go up! A smudge removal charge. Probably an extra $34.95 per month for 15 years.

So if this had been a "White" boy with a name of John would you still be saying the same thing?

Yes an aircraft was stolen but it appears to be someone with a mental illness.

Surely you can refrain from spewing hatred like that based on the name and color of his skin. Do not paint the millions of good people with the same brush.

From a "White boy" with some Viking blood.

Somehow you got Racist overtones from the use of the phrase "Little Black Smudge"? You poor oversensitive Liberal.

And now we have the inevitable "why is there no security at small airports" scare story from Global news:

COPA is the only voice of reason in the whole story.

Duck for cover, here comes the lawsuits! Next every airstrip will require 8' barbed wire fences, armed guards and CATSA screwing every aircraft owner.

It is always someone else fault!

A source close to the investigation told Global News something was found in the wreckage that concerned police, while the owners of the stolen Piper Tomahawk said their plane was full of fuel and was capable of flying up to five hours.

Chaudhary said his son should have been apprehended as soon as he entered the airport.

“It’s not national security issue on my son. It’s a national security issue for the airport,” he said.

“How come they left the airport like this? He was sick. I know. He had a mental problem.”

He added that Mohammad had been diagnosed with schizophrenia two years prior to his death and had been treated at the Markham Stouffville Hospital.

Mohammad has a criminal history. He was charged in connection with an alleged armed robbery at a gas station with a pellet gun in September 2015, after York Regional Police said he went into the store, showed a clerk a weapon and fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of money.

I have met this boy , they live in the same rental as my brother . They were a different family Forsure, my brother and sister in law moved because of this fighting and issues with lack of parenting

Mentally disturbed kid ( can you say ISIS- as many of them need to be "disturbed" to do the shit they do ! )
Dead beat dad- mostly at fault ! do not trust a word he says !
Blaming everyone else, playing the victim card ( Muslim )
Criminal kid- has priors
Hmmm, let me guess, A Koran found in the wreckage??

Better look into the fathers history for extremist involvement, the kids visits to mosques and brainwashing by imams.
You wont get much from the bought and paid for politicians and media whores The cops hands are tied due to threats of firing and pension loss etc!
Finally, av-Canada will cower and may consider banning me for fear of reprisal from the PC group!

the little black smudge left on the thick concrete and lead containment building

I can't say what the author of this phrase intended, but I would have to try hard to be racially offended by it.

Whenever I have helped to clean up a wrecked plane, the smudge on the surface was black . Even Tomahawks usually have dirty oil, and dirty bellies. The "smudge" left by a person of any race, is not black at all, 'been there, hosed that away too...

Too much ado about nothing.

J31 was talking about the rushed speculation that the kid was a jihadist trying to take out the Pickering nuke plant. The colour of the resulting smudge has nothing to do with it. You and Phillyfan focused on the wrong sentence. And J31 is right - nobody would speculate that if it had been a white kid named John.

The strathroy bomb "incident" was a white boy, indoctrinated into a death cult that we are not allowed to speak of ( the M or I word) Just about anyone can be brainwashed and conscripted to do awful things

When it comes to mental illness all bets are off.
But since were on this topic whats wrong with assuming a fella named Mohammed (with mental illness and a criminal background) who stole a plane and crashed it, why not go "there"? is it really a stretch?
Same line of thought I'd have when I see a white cop in the USA shooting a black guy who surrenders. Both probably have hatred in their hearts and are doing wrong (sounds corny i know but I can't think of a better way of putting it).
Stupidity knows no creed.

You used the word "assuming" which really means jumping to a conclusion. "Considering the possibility" is a better way of putting it, and no - I don't think there is anything wrong with considering the possibility. Years ago I had to deal with an in-flight threat involving four youths of Muslim descent and I definitely considered the possibility. Turns out they were just four thoughtless kids with no connection between their brains and their mouths.

Same line of thought I'd have when I see a white cop in the USA shooting a black guy who surrenders.

If the kid had actually crashed into the nuke plant then I might see the parallel, but he was nowhere near it. He didn't appear to be anything but what he was - a troubled kid who stole a plane he didn't know how to fly.

No paralell just stupidity. Whether it's terrorism, racism, hatred, it's just stupidity to me. A simplistic viewpoint I know.

"if it had been a white kid named John."

Ya well it was not. It was a brown kid named Mohammed.

You're totally missing the point....

Now we know why the engine failed....

"C-FSYH, a privately owned Piper PA-38-112 aircraft, was stolen from the Toronto/Markham, ON (CNU8) airport shortly after 0100 EDT. Approximately 30 to 40 minutes after takeoff, a forced landing was attempted on a road in downtown Peterborough, ON, possibly due to an engine power loss. The aircraft's left wing struck a metal pole and part of the outer wing was sheared. The aircraft continued across the intersection and struck a second traffic light pole, which sheared and collapsed on top of the aircraft. The aircraft came to rest with the second pole resting on top of the cabin. The sole occupant was fatally injured.
The aircraft had not been flown for a few years and the owner was in the process of returning the aircraft to an airworthy condition. During storage, the owner of the aircraft had protected it against insect entry by plugging several openings on the engine and airframe. The two fuel tank vents, located under each wing, were blocked by a clear plastic tube with a bolt inserted at the open end of the tube.
The police is leading the investigation with support from the TSB."
