Thought I would share my pictures of this incident as well, note this happened in June.
An investigation is underway into what caused a United Express airplane arriving from Washington to skid off the runway at the Ottawa International Airport Wednesday, causing minor injuries to the plane's pilot, co-pilot and an elderly passenger."
There is no speculation on what happened by anybody on anything. The Transportation Safety Board are the people who will examine this. They currently have three investigators at the aircraft gathering data," said Paul Benoit, president and CEO of the Ottawa International Airport Authority.
The plane overshot the runway by about 200 metres, coming to a stop about 100 feet from the airport's fence, said paramedic spokesperson J.P. Trottier.
The nose of the airplane was extensively damaged and the belly of the aircraft rested on the ground.
"The plane slid off the runway and caused the front landing gear to fail, so basically the plane's down on its nose and there's structural damage to the front part of the plane," said Marc Messier, spokesperson for Ottawa Fire Services.
