Was the pilot a DEI hire? He slammed the runway like he wanted to dig a hole in it.

Certainly looks like DEI - never had a chance as she didn’t even try to raise the nose. I suspect that Canada will keep this under wraps for now.

To find the truth we’ll need picks and jackhammers and dynamite. Everybody gear up.

Ya the pilot pretty much rammed into the runway, that was not a landing, that was a ramming.

My take on the accident is it was a gust of wind when he was just feet from the runway that lifted the left wing allowing the right wing to hit the ground breaking off which then allowed the wind to turn the plane upside down.

In other words an accident beyond the pilots control

But I am neither a pilot or an expert so I will wait for someone that knows more then either of us to explain what happened.

I see a pilot who made an appropriate approach, carrying some extra power due to the gusting perhaps cross winds. I suspect his “hard landing” was due to the sudden loss of lift while at very low altitude resulting in an acute drop to the runway. Likely heard off the landing gear and resultant roll and flip. Miraculously there were no fatalities. I suspect the pilots will be vindicated after the investigation.

Doesn’t look like pilot flared.

Will we ever know who the pilots were?

Thank God for all of the snow/snow banks. 🙏🏻

Seems to me the rear left wheels failed. That could be that the plane was coming down too hard. It did so because of 25mph cross winds. But the rear wheels could have had a problem. I was in several flights where the plane came down so hard that masks dropped down and plastic parts of the ceiling fell on us. So I think the wheels should be able to handle a very hard landing. This time they did not.
