Breaking News from Calgary!!!

[drag n' fly]

I heard a different story that it flew sideways and then dropped. Either way I hope eveyone is ok~!


Apparently some people are saying this plane did a complete full roll folks over the mountains and dropped for 15 seconds straight before they re gained control and landed in Calgary

An Air Canada flight was forced to make an emergency landing at the Calgary airport Thursday morning.

Ambulances and fire trucks rushed to greet the plane, which landed around 8:30 a.m.

CTV News has learned that a total of 10 people were treated at the scene.

Six patients were taken to hospital in stable but potentially life-threatening condition. Four patients had minor, non-life-threatening injuries.

The injured were taken to all three of Calgary's hospitals to avoid overwhelming any one emergency unit.

Officials say 91 people including five crew members were on board the flight, which is identified as flight number AC 190.

The aircraft is an Airbus A319.

No word yet on what caused the injuries or whether turbulence or a mechanical issue is to blame.

The flight had taken off from Victoria and was heading to Toronto.

CTV News will continue to update this story as details become available.

Wow. Just....wow.

I prefer to arrive at Disney before deciding whether I will ride any full-roll, upside down roller coasters.

Hope everyone is okay.

Haven't heard anything about a rollover--just some lunges and drops before the Pilot regained control manually. Seems like they entered a wind shear that might have knocked the Computer out causing Kaos to ensue. One more sound reason to always have your seatbelt on! Thank goodness everyone seems to be ok.

This is exactly what was reported on the late news last night and again this morning. I guess some people did hit their heads when it dropped suddenly. they always tell you that unless you're up to go to washroom, you should have your seatbelt on. People just don't like to believe that unforeseen incidents can actually happen to them.

Hopefully everyone has been treated and released by now.
