An accident fortunately without consequences for the people involved, except an emergency worker hospitalized for burns, occurred yesterday evening at the Toronto airport where two aircraft collided on the ground at the landing strip.
The WestJet 2425 flight, arriving from Cancun, with 168 passengers plus six crew members, was proceeding to the gate when it was hit by an aircraft from another Canadian company, LA Sunwing, which was then being pulled by the staff of earth.
The passengers were quickly evacuated with an emergency slide.
The tail of the Sunwing plane caught fire, producing black smoke. In a video shot by a passenger, you can hear the panic cries of those on board, and you can see the flames on the plane nearby.
The transport safety authority has opened an investigation into the accident. This is the second collision between planes in the Canadian airport in five months.
