Image
Air Canada Flight Lands with Broken Landing Gear in Halifax: Wing Scrapes Runway, Sparks Fire A dramatic scene unfolded at Halifax Stanfield International Airport in Nova Scotia on Saturday night, as Air Canada Flight 2259 made an emergency landing with a broken landing gear. The incident caused the aircraft’s wing to scrape the runway, sparking a fire and leading to a temporary closure of the airport. The flight, arriving from St. John’s, Newfoundland, faced mechanical issues during its descent into Halifax. Upon landing, the aircraft tilted to the left, and the wing made contact with the runway surface. This led to visible sparks and flames near the engine area, creating a harrowing experience for those on board. One passenger, who described the aircraft tilting at a 20-degree angle during the landing, recounted the terrifying moments: "The plane started to tilt to the left, and as it did, we heard a loud crashing noise as the wing scraped along the pavement.
