Time for a safety stand down?
Too polite to say crash?
latest I saw was all accounted for and 8 injured. Looks nasty though, can’t imagine being in that thing when it rolled over.
The plane is upside down
Another CRJ…Canadian planes having a bad streak of luck
8 injured. 3 critical, including 1 child.
Had family flying out of Toronto today. They got out before the crash so were lucky!
How do you even evacuate from that?
Use the doors.

Wondering if those emergency chute slide things would deploy correctly from an upside down plane?
From the pics, looks like the distance to the ground is only a few feet in this incident. But still.
No slide on a CRJ900. It is low enough that you don’t need a slide.
Post 94 in this thread has video from inside the plane with people exiting.

I was more thinking you’re hanging upside down if you unbuckle you’re going to tumble
It is a narrow fuselage, so not a huge distance.
I once was in a car that rolled and landed on the roof (at a very slow speed). It was fairly easy to unbuckle with one hand and brace myself with the other.
Good lord.
Landing gear failure?
Looks to my ignorant ass like they just pancaked, not the usual touchdown angle.
That crash was dramatic. The last time something that dramatic was in Toronto was an Air France in 2005 which caught on fire and was destroyed. The flight crew was amazing and got everybody out safely. I seems like just yesterday I did not realize until I looked it up 20 years ago.
Without knowing any of the details I am pretty sure that this crash was the result of DEI hiring policies.
Looks like a very nominal landing with a gear failure. No issues with attitude or control.
Looks to my non-expert eye like the rate of descent was faster than normal. But, maybe not so fast as to exceed the design specs for the landing gear.
You, me,and the other know-nothings agree. Looked way too hard a landing.
