Flightaware shows they circled several times west of the airport(hold?)...possibly waiting for visibility conditions to improve to minimums at the airport...or other.

How in the heck does a plane clip power lines coming into a runway?

May have clipped them after it exited the runway in the skid.

AC603, the very early flight to Toronto, scheduled as an A320, is canceled.

Can’t imagine why....

Stands to reason, with the dew point nearing ambient, there’s bound to be fog... and it was snowing as well.

We Tu Low was pilot and Some Ting Wong was co-pilot?

Really? Power lines strung across the end of an airport runway? Where they can interfere with air traffic? What could possibly go wrong there? Sounds like part of a Laurel & Hardy movie plot.

Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.

Eddie Rickenbacker, the WWI Ace later founded Eastern Airlines. In the early days of commercial aviation, he was in a crash of an airliner. Electricians were wiring the airport lights and ran a power line across the runway.

He was one of the few survivors and was hospitalized for several months.

If they had enough fuel for that, maybe they could have gone somewhere else.

Why do all Canadian airport codes start with Y?

“No “Major” injuries reported so far.”

Any time you evacuate using the slides, 80 year old people don’t always do as well as 8 year old people.
