Multiple Aviation Emergencies Raise Global Concerns
On December 28, 2024,
Air Canada Express Flight 2259, operated by PAL Airlines, faced a terrifying ordeal upon arrival at Halifax Stanfield International Airport in Nova Scotia. The aircraft, a De Havilland Dash 8-400, was completing its journey from St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, when its left main landing gear collapsed during landing. This mechanical failure caused the left wing to scrape along the runway, igniting a fire that filled the cabin with smoke and panic.
