Unfortunately, Canadair jets seem to have several crashes attributed to them on takeoff.
I'm sure many here remember the business jet that skidded off the end of the runway and across a highway in Teterboro, NJ. That was a Canadair HL-600, closely related to the CRJ's used by almost ALL the major airlines today.
That was a Challenger.
