The Airbus A319-100, en-route from Saint John’s, NL, Canada, to London, UK, was mid-air above Atlantic Ocean when the crew reported failure of the hydraulic system, prompting the plane to return to Saint John’s but instead diverted to Toronto due to bad weather.

The plane landed uneventfully.

All passengers onboard remained unharmed.

Mechanics working on a Sunwing Boeing had left a van running and in gear, which subsequently rolled without a driver across the runway. At some point, the van impacted the Sunwing 737.

However, there are a lot of errors here that could have been disaster. We are glad no one was injured. Safety first, everyone!

• The maintenance crew for failing to secure their vehicle.
• ATC for not using the call sign, even if it was evident to them who they were speaking to.
• Pilots for ignoring ATC even if they saw the “threat” because there could have been an additional alert

That said, of course we are glad no one was injured.
