I turned the news on awhile ago and this was on, telling of this incident. They had landing problems. It’s hard to believe there are no fatalities, but they are not reporting any.

Crazy with all these crashes and Trump, Musk have just in their wisdom fired a large number of FAA inspectors. Insane

I had wondered what on earth caused that. I see that in part at least it was the wind.

Yes, that was what I have read as well. Time will tell. I think it was the upside down thing that made it seem so weird and unusual.

According to what the experts say about planes, the most dangerous time of the flight is take-off and landing.

That’s why you wear your seatbelt when landing. Thank God no fatalities reported. The one article I read said three were critically injured.

I always wear my seatbelt. I’ve been in planes that the rides were so full of bumps that you couldn’t stay in your seat if you didn’t wear your seatbelt!

I've always rather enjoyed flying in a way. But I would prefer to go a lot of places in a car, as I enjoy seeing different areas of the country.

I have ridden atleast 22 times and never experienced any kind of mishaps Anyway I have no plans to travel but at the same time I feel for those who have had these diastrous experiences.

I have flown too many times to even count in my lifetime. I always tell myself that way less people die yearly from plane crashes than car accidents. Weird logic, but it helps me somehow.

It’s on the news. A large aircraft, just completely flipped over.

I was shocked to see on the Microsoft news headlines about the airplane crash in Toronto this afternoon.

@MarieCoyle That is true since most plane crashes do not end with an airplane being upside down.

I was shocked to see it upside down on the runway. Not something we see normally.

It's pretty scary to think about. None of us have any idea what's next.

I too saw the news. I think there was something on the runaway and the plane was quite big.

From what I have read and watched, it appears it was a wind problem. I have heard nothing about something on the runway.
