Toronto News: Air Canada plane makes emergency landing at Pearson after reports of falling debris - thestar.com

Yeah, right, the falling debris was from a Ruskie satellite.

Coupled with the (reported) engine shutdown makes it less of an opportunity to poke fun.

I was in the area where the vehicles were damaged recently for a burial at the nearby Catholic cemetery. It is under the departure path for YYZ runway 23.

The flight path of AC 1 is here:

I remember years ago engine failures at Eastern seemed to always rain metal parts on the neighborhoods around the airfield in MIA. The Miami Herald would have a picture of a resident holding metal fragments and there would be a standard pax interview of the guy from JFK 'I heard a bang and I knew we wuz gonna die!'

That debris held by the news reporter looked like whats left of an LP turbine blade.
There have been some 'issues' with the GE90 turbines.:8

edit to add there has been an AD applicable to the growth engine (-110 and -115) turbines. But I would have thought they would be compliant by now!
Maybe it didn't go far enough:uhoh:

A Ruskie satellite? I thought the Cold War ended in the last century. It could have been part of an American satellite but more likely a remnant of an LP turbine.

more like a cooked LP aft stg turbine vane, the blades probably left earlier.

I wonder what the runway looks like

What is wrong here?

No gear down command while it's transiting in the gear up sequence!

No 37.5 degree bank turns at less than V2 or close to Vs with a stick shaker going off!

No EGWPS warning but a continued climb to a safe altitude and what I have to assume proper procedures to a safe landing!

Good work chaps!

And the aircraft didn't plunge either.

It wasn't even an Airbus! - [shock - horror];)

And the pilot must have made sure that the debris narrowly missed the nearby school/kindergarten/hospital (choose one)...;)

GE90 engines.

Geese migration time. I'm calling FOD.

From what I seen in pics and news, looks like a LP turbine blade, and there are alot of cars sometimes on the RWY 23 also. The GE-90 is amazing, and made just for the 777.
Hats off to the crew that did what they were taught and trained to do, and other than small damage on ground (cars) per reports anyway, all else is well, they dumped their fuel, and landed with no other known problems.
Russian Satelite, GET REAL PLEASE!

Yep, do not understand why the first poster had to be so dramatic and call it an emergency landing, looks very much like a normal landing with one engine shut down as would be the case with any decent carrier

Probably because it was an 'Emergency landing'?

TheStar.....Canada's own Daily Mail.

You know, I was thinking that it was even better than the Daily Mail.

That's too weird. I was litterally watching a justplanes AC 77W DVD. Also AC001 to Narita....

Request issuance of a temporary sense of humor to CPTG747. Thank you.
