Summary
An Air Canada Express flight with 73 passengers was evacuated after a landing gear issue during landing at Halifax Stanfield International Airport.
The Bombardier Q400 aircraft came to rest partially on its belly, prompting emergency crews to respond.
No injuries were reported, though passengers were bused off the runway.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada is investigating the incident, and passenger belongings remain withheld pending the investigation’s conclusion.
Are they really, or is it just that every regular incident makes international news now?
Pretty sure every passenger plane incident has made international news for the past decade or more, basically since the Internet became mainstream with smartphones at a minimum.
The past two years definitely stand out as particularly bad to me though.
Seasonal rush means higher pressure to skip safety checks perhaps?
Visibility / reporting bias is always more likely without deeper info
