    What: Air Canada Airbus A320-200 en route from Montreal to Toronto
    Where: Toronto
    When: Mar 23rd 2010
    Who: 99 (98?) passengers and 6 crew
    Why: En route, the flight had an indication of a problem with the hydraulics, followed by a problem with cabin smoke on landing. The flight crew complained of an odor in the cabin. Passengers were removed directly to the runway by emergency responders at about 9:00 am. Illness was attributed to an odor that reportedly made them sick, as well as smoke. The source of the odor, at some point, was determined to be the hydraulic fluid leak.

    Passengers aboard the flight say that even before the flight there was a peculiar odor; they were told the odor was blamed on a malfunctioning heating system

    The pilot also had complained to a steering problem, no doubt related to the leak. The plane was towed off the runway.
