Disastrous Landing at Toronto Airport - Air Canada Jazz Flight 8911

On May 20, 2007, Jazz Aviation flight 8911, operated by a Bombardier CRJ-100 registered C-FRIL, which originated in Moncton, had an extremely hard landing at Toronto-Pearson International Airport, because the captain was taking picture during this critical phase. There were no injuries. The aircraft was written off. Subscribe, like, share and comment for more videos!

Great, now the Captain has not one ( AF A340), but two crash aircraft photos to his collections

When the captain said he intended on taking photos during landing I literally shuddered

[@bobbyricigliano2799]

I’m not a pilot, but I cannot believe they both failed to realize the rear gear had collapsed. Even without the auditory and tactile indications, the nose of the airplane would pitch up and they would be looking at the sky rather than the runway.

[@sajanim]

These "pilots" need to lose their license permanently.

[@user-ic1dp2zw9l]

No bro they fucking don't have to remember this happened in 2007 you have no sense in aviation

[@mingulay29]

In reference to the comments below, there is a difference between the noun disaster and the adjective disastrous and the video maker is quite correct to describe the landing as disastrous as it put the lives of all aboard at risk and led to the total loss of the aircraft. To describe the whole event as a disaster would not be correct as no lives were lost. Near disaster might be possible.

In reality the plane was probably only worth about 500K at the time of the write off.

[@dragonmeddler2152]

How could they not know...?

[@clintonandrews1538]

I experienced a rough landing flying into KFLL: Runway 10L, Winds 90º almost straight down the runway, 15 KTS gusting to 35 KTS(!) Airspeed ±20 KTIAS. Flare and stall??? A real crapshoot. Come in hot for the gusts, if the gusts stop, the aircraft stalls about 15 feet above the runway. The tower doesn't have a runway jack. We hit the runway like a brick. My teeth snapped shut and all of the 'geese' let out a huge groan. I was surprised that the main gear held out. I waited for all of the pax to leave the plane and then I walked to the front and requested permission to approach the flight deck. I stuck my head in and said "I don't know what they're all bitching about... 'ya caught the first wire. The Captain burst out laughing and the First Officer (newly hired from the U.S. Navy) just hung his head. A memorable flight for me.

"Disastrous Landing"...... all passengers and crew survive without any injuries. By the looks of the damage, even their luggage was likely unharmed. This is not a disaster.

Yes it is, the plane was a total loss. Anyone with a brain would consider that a disastrous landing.

[@stefeniedavidmusic]

Wait a minute! They are landing 06 and the wind is at 140. That is a right crosswind, not left. The captain should have been doing his job, however, the F.O. should have easily been able to land the aircraft by himself or he shouldn't be there. He had 4000 bloody hours. What if the Captain was incapacitated? In my opinion, there is no way he should have kept the autopilot on that late in the approach. He should have had things stabilized way back at the outer marker after the gear went down. Just crab into wind to maintain the localizer/centerline, then left rudder, to straighten it out just before landing. Right aileron after touchdown to keep the aircraft from flipping over from the wind. Students learn that before they are allowed to go solo. Pilots let computers fly the aircraft nowadays. I guess the Captain would want to photograph this crash too and add it to his collection...........after he is out of work ( I hope). "What is that scraping noise? Hmmm. Beats me."

Both pilots were not fired. The pilot union managed to save both these incompetent idiots from termination. The First Officer managed to be hired at WestJet before his name became public knowledge. So he is their problem now. The Captain remained at Jazz.

Th pilots don’t know the landing gear did not come down? Wouldn’t the pitch of the nose give you suspicious N that something wasn’t right other than deflated tires? Just seems odd to me that they thought that but then again I’m no pilot and by no means know a lot about planes in that manner.

[@kcindc5539]

The landing gear came down just fine. What they didn’t realize is that the main gear collapsed during their unusually harsh bounced landing. That effed up landing put stress on the landing gear well beyond its design limits.

[@tomrogers9467]

Should a Co-Pilot not be competent enough to land the aircraft on his own? After all, that is one of the reasons for a second pilot, as a backup if the Captain becomes incapacitated. But then again, it is Air Canada. Why should we expect more! Hope the pictures were worth the millions of dollars in destroyed airplane.

[@malcolmwhite6588]

The second pilot, it’s not particularly a backup of the captain becomes incapacitated. He is the senior pilot, both pilots, fly sectors, and the other pilot, not flying, manages, radios, manipulate suit and controls and other stuff, so either pilot is able to operate on their own in an emergency.
