It's truly a miracle everyone onboard survived. https://www.comicsands.com/video-toronto-plane-crash?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=infeed&utm_campaign=linkprogram

@georgetakei it is less a miracle than it is a testament to the amazing engineers at Bombardier. The aircraft performed exactly as it was designed to in that situation. The right wing and vertical stabilizer detached exactly as they should have, which protected the cabin and therefore the passengers.

One thing looks pretty clear to me: the starboard undercarriage collapsed on touchdown.

@georgetakei Not a miracle. The result of decades of regulation and research into aircraft safety. This is what government does.

@georgetakei also thankful to all the scientists and investigators who figure out how to prevent crashes or the loss of life when crashes do occur, and thankful for the required training of all personnel involved and the regulations that require construction that keeps us all safe. #science #prevention #safety
A π΄πΆππΆ (hiti) is an ancient Newah urban water feature: a stepped, sunken courtyard with waterspouts and a central pool. These are fed through a remarkable network of pipes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems drawing water from mountain springs dozens of kilometres away. Every day, hundreds of people from the neighbourhood come to draw water, bathe, and exchange news. They are a unique and precious feature of Newa urban architecture through which neighbourhoods are created.
