Where: Toronto
When: Jan 3rd 2011
Who: 241 passengers
Why: While en route, the communication and navigation equipment failed, and the flight crew landed at Pearson as a safety measure. According to the FAA, the apparent reason (or a factor as the investigation is continuing) is that the equipment failed after a crew member spilled coffee on it. Additional confusion followed as pilots sent an incorrect code before they sent the “loss of communication” code.
