Another photo here and another incident at the same airport it seems.

Google translated below - reads quite well.



On August 24, a Canadian Flyers International student pilot was taking off and taking off on runway 33 at Buttonville Municipal Airport, north of Toronto, Canada.


After several circuits, the pilot landed on runway 33 and the aircraft veered to the left. At that time, the pilot and sole occupant of the aircraft, applied the maximum power for takeoff. However, the plane did not rise and ended up veering to the right. After crossing a grassy area and a taxiway, the plane ended up hitting the side of an airport hangar head-on.
The plane, a Cessna 172M Skyhawk with registration C-GJQB, has been destroyed and the hangar has suffered considerable damage. The pilot was taken to a nearby hospital for a medical evaluation and luckily has only suffered minor injuries.

It was not the only accident:

Just 6 days later, another Cessna 172M Skyhawk aircraft from the same school and with registration C-GWYC, has suffered an accident at the same airport.

On this occasion, a student pilot and his instructor were taking off from runway 33 for an instruction flight. Immediately after takeoff, the engine began to lose power, so the instructor took control of the plane. He applied full power but the aircraft was still unresponsive, so the instructor attempted an emergency landing on runway 15 with a tight 180 degree turn.


However, due to the low altitude the aircraft was carrying, it could not reach the runway and hit a mound adjacent to 16th Avenue. Both occupants of the aircraft were able to escape with only minor injuries.

TSB is investigating both accidents.
