Where: Burlington International Airport
When: WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2009 5:35 p.m.
Who: 14 on board, 12 passengers
Why: When the plane’s left engine pressure dropped too low, the Air Canada plane made an emergency landing, leaking oill and on one engine, but essentially intact. (Reports do not say so, but the pilot probably shut down the engine as a precaution. One presumes this is because landing on one engine is better than landing on one working engine and one engine on fire.) Passengers debarked on to the tarmac and were carried by shuttle to the terminal.
A passenger is quoted as saying that the only way he knew there was anything wrong was “all the fire engines chasing us down the runway.” Another passenger described the fight as being scary (what if the other engine went?), but that the crew was totally in control, calm and amazing.
