What: Air Canada Boeing 777-333ER
Where: Toronto Canada
When: May 28 2012
Who: 318 passengers, 16 crew
Why: After a louder than normal take-off, fifteen minutes into the flight, pilots of the Air Canada Boeing en route from Toronto to Japan shut off an engine. Witnesses reported smoke and fire coming from the right engine.

The flight had to return to Toronto following engine problems. Falling bits of engine debris “hot bits of blackened metal” fell from the sky and caused some damage to parked vehicles near Derry and Kennedy Rds in Mississauga. The entire circuit of the flight took about an hour and a half.

There were no injuries on the flight, but emergency services were on standby on landing, in expectation of trauma.
