Air Canada Flight Catches Fire During Crash Landing [Video]

An Air Canada plane caught fire during a crash landing in Nova Scotia on Saturday night.

Videos shared on social media showed passengers aboard the plane as it skidded down a runway at Halifax Stanfield International Airport while a wing was on fire.

Air Canada spokesperson Peter Fitzpatrick told Newsweek that there was a “suspected landing gear issue” when the flight, which was carrying 73 passengers, arrived in Halifax on Saturday night.

“As a result, the aircraft was unable to reach the terminal and customers were offloaded using a bus,” Fitzpatrick said. “There were no injuries reported, however we appreciate this incident was unsettling for customers and we remain available to assist them.”

A spokesperson or the Nova Scotia Royal Canadian Mounted Police told Newsweek that all passengers and crew were “safely evacuated from the plane” and no injuries were reported.
