Canadian Plane Catches Fire After Rough Landing Amid South Korea Tragedy
In a shocking turn of events, an Air Canada Express flight was forced to make an emergency landing at Halifax Stanfield International Airport after experiencing severe technical difficulties. The flight, operated by PAL Airlines, had just arrived from Newfoundland when the incident occurred. It was around 9:30 pm local time when the aircraft encountered a critical failure with its landing gear, causing a rough and dangerous landing.
Passengers onboard described terrifying moments as the plane started to tilt at an angle of about 20 degrees to the left. The unsettling noise that followed, resembling a crash, was enough to send shockwaves through everyone on board. One of the passengers, Nikki Valentine, reported that the wing of the plane skidded across the tarmac, accompanied by what was believed to be an engine fire. This unexpected fire outbreak created immediate panic among the passengers, who feared the worst.

Thanks to the quick response from emergency services, including paramedics and the Nova Scotia RCMP, the situation was quickly brought under control. All passengers and crew members were safely evacuated from the aircraft. No injuries or fatalities were reported, and everyone onboard was immediately taken to a nearby hangar for medical evaluation, just in case. Emergency crews acted swiftly to extinguish the flames and ensure that no further damage occurred.
While the exact cause of the landing gear failure is under investigation, aviation authorities have yet to determine whether the issue was a mechanical fault, a procedural error, or influenced by external factors. Despite the gravity of the situation, the Halifax airport has resumed some operations, with one runway reopened by the early hours of Sunday morning.
This event unfolded amidst a much more tragic aviation disaster in South Korea. Just hours earlier, a Jeju Air flight carrying 181 people from Bangkok to Muan tragically crashed, resulting in the deaths of 179 people onboard. The juxtaposition of these two events, one marked by a harrowing but ultimately successful emergency landing and the other by devastating loss, has left the aviation world in a state of shock and reflection.
As investigations continue in Halifax and South Korea, the focus now shifts to understanding the causes behind both incidents and ensuring that such tragedies never happen again.
