Delta plane crashes, flips upside down while landing in Toronto from Minneapolis
-
Imagine being such a Russian pawn that you immediately bring the aviation industry down to Russia's level.
-
There is no way all these sudden crashes are a fluke. There were hardly any for last several months and now it's almost weekly.
-
Five is a number.
-
Do you know this from data, or just what's reported in the news?
-
If you are referring to Trump as the pawn, I would like to remind you that this airport in not (yet) in the U.S., and that Pearson has its own ATC.
Also, Pearson is one of the worst airports in the modern world. -
This one was in Canada
-
Seems pretty incredible that it flipped over and lost a wing, presumably with fuel still, but everyone survived. I'm glad it's only injuries.

6 is just great

I see Denzel’s got his pilots license back
-
I would separate the ones involving major airline, and the one involving private jets/smaller planes. Alaska has the reputation to be a place where people fly without a licence (Or lost their licence due to drunk-flying but kept flying) and winter ops there sounds like a bit more extreme than regular air-lines.
But indeed, planes aren't supposed to do barrel roll on the runaway. not sure what happened, I expect to see some interesting "air-crash investigation " video in the coming years (Yes I am too lazy to read the report by myself)
-
It's so cold right now the plane said "fuck this, you guys try keeping me warm now."
-
Delta is an American airline.
-
Yeah I know, but it originated from Minneapolis and landed in Toronto Pearson Airport, which is very close to the US border (it's literally across the lake from New York). Different country, but really not that different since the airplane is also from a US airline with a US pilot.
Anyway, it's just uncanny how many planes have been crashing lately in a relatively short span of time.
-
"Doug Ford is glad there were no casualties." Dude, 17 people went to the hospital, what're you talking about? Did he mean fatalities?
-
There are several definitions of casualty, some mention "serious injury or death" while others refer to "death through injury, illness or violence".
So the his statement is at the very least not obviously misleading.
-
I think the bigger point is that commercial aviation (this case) is VERY different, safety-wise, to the other cases mentiined. Commercial has a ridiculously good safety record. The others have always had a relatively high accident rate, more similar to motorcycles.
-
I wonder if the reporting is like the train crash business. Happens more than we think but the media locks onto certain disasters.
-
Not to downplay the severity of what's been happening recently (DCA, Philadelphia, and now Toronto), but what you are seeing in the news is the same thing that happened to trains after the East Palestine incident in Ohio. For months after the East Palestine incident, every major news outlet was talking about every trend derailment. There are an average of about three derailments a day in the US yet you don't really see anybody but local news covering it nowadays.
There are incidents in aviation everyday whether there are engine failures that need to return to an airport or a runway excursion. It's just the nature of news and media, to be sensational and get as many clicks as possible. "Oh a plane's engine caught fire in Houston while on the takeoff roll! we better cover it because aviation is hot in the news!"

But indeed, planes aren't supposed to do barrel roll on the runaway.
I tried to barrel roll a commercial plane in a flight sim once...I concluded I don't think they're supposed to do it in the air either.
