An old adaptation of aviation states that a good landing is the one in which the airplane can be left with your legs. Instead, it is an excellent landing if the airplane can still be used.
After the jokes, but the one that happened in Toronto yesterday afternoon is a real miracle.
A Canadair Crj-900 of the Endeavor Airlinescon Registration Marche N932XJ who operated on behalf of the Delta Airlines Il Volo DL-4819 from Minneapolis (USA) to Toronto (Canada) with 76 passengers and 4 crew members, landed on track 23 of Toronto at 2:12 pm Local time. After contact, on which we seek evidence in the videos of the airport cameras, he suffered the assignment of the attack of one semiala, the detachment of the other, the detachment of the tail and finished his race upside down on the track with both wings, The main trolleys and the tail surface separated from the fuselage. There have not been a victims even a fire, and this is the miracle, however, a person was seriously wounded and about twenty have undergone mild wounds. The Canadian Transport Security Agency TSB-AIR immediately deployed a team to investigate the event, starting to collect information on the weather conditions present at Lester B. Pearson International Airport in Toronto. Here in the hour preceding the event, excellent horizontal visibility was reported (over 2 km at the ground level), compact and dry snow with chemical residues present (the liquid for the clothes of the aircraft that runs on the ground during application), e An evolution of the weather conditions with cloudiness at 3000 feet (about 1,000 meters) but above all wind to gusts of direction transversal to the track of about 40 °, from west to 270 ° (the track is oriented 230) with intensity 28 nodes eraffici to 35 (therefore from 51 to 64 km / km). A component certainly important of wind to the traverse that may have caused a sudden movement of the aircraft leading a semiala to touch the ground, triggering the accident, or one of the main trolleys to touch in a severe way and while translating laterally, all when the speed of the aircraft was still supported, thus causing the transfer of the leg of the cart itself. Among the immediate considerations, luck wanted to release any fire, since much of the residual fuel (the flight was less than two hours, so there was at least one reserve such as to guarantee equally flight time), is contained in the seeds which were uprooted at the root, or at the point of hooking with the fuselage.
. Aggling: from a video taken by the cameras of a company adjacent to the airport you can see the airplane undergo a very hard landing that causes the transfer of the main right trolley. It follows a fire principle that develops around the seeds for the leakage of the fuel, but which does not invest the fuselage, which slips on the frozen ground until you stop in position
