But where were you yesterday, NS?

NS was in NS on the day in question. :-"

Remember it's a Scarebus - fly by wire......

They're starting to say it could be the wet of the runway or faulty brakes. The airport was on red alert too when the aircraft landed, dangers of lightning in the area.

It must be something to do with the brakes because the aircraft already touched down but are A340s supposed to be landing at 160 mph?

Hard to say at this point. The data recorders should reveal quite a bit

 

[cheddar cheese]

Aquaplaning seems to me to be the most viable explanation.

Spoke to my Father in Law about it yesterday - He thinks the crew just F*cked Up!

We'll see what Transport Canada says!

I am going to go with FBJ or just plain mechanical failure (brakes/thrust reversers).

 

[Nonskimmer]

It's looking now like the plane may have landed a little too far down the runway. Here's the latest CBC report on the story.

Interesting files, sunny. I'm curious, where did you get them?
