Air Canada flight catches fire during rough landing at Halifax airport

An Air Canada flight made an emergency landing at Halifax Stanfield International Airport Saturday night due to a landing gear malfunction.

Flight 2259, en route from St. John’s International Airport, encountered landing troubles around 9:30 AST (0130 GMT Sunday). The malfunction caused the plane to skid on the runway, leading to an engine fire. Emergency crews quickly responded to ensure passenger safety.

Passenger Nikki Valentine described the tense moments, telling CBC News: “The plane started to sit at about a 20-degree angle to the left, and… we heard a pretty loud—what almost sounded like a crash sound—as the wing of the plane started to skid along the pavement, along with what I presume was the engine.”

PEOPLE LAUGHED AT THE OLD WOMAN IN THE HOSPITAL WAITING ROOM 😳 UNTIL THE SURGEON CAME OUT AND SAID THIS She sat quietly in the corner, clutching a worn-out purse in her lap. Her coat was far too thin for the weather, her shoes scuffed and mismatched. The hospital waiting room was crowded, but no one sat near her — some out of judgment, others out of discomfort. One woman leaned over to her husband and whispered, “She must be lost. Probably wandered in from the street.” He chuckled. “She’s probably just here for the free coffee.” A group of well-dressed relatives glanced over, rolled their eyes, and snickered every time the old woman shifted or reached into her bag. Even a nurse came by and gently asked, “Ma’am, are you sure you’re in the right place?” “Yes, dear,” she said quietly. “I’m exactly where I need to be.” An hour passed. Then two. Still, she waited. Then the double doors swung open. A man in full surgical gear stepped out, clearly exhausted — mask pulled down, hair messy from his scrub cap — and walked straight toward the old woman. The entire room went silent. All eyes were on him. He stopped in front of her, his expression soft. Then he spoke loud enough for everyone to hear: “Are you ready to tell them who you are now?” 👇🫢
