Guest Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Air Canada Dash 8-300 lost a wheel with sparks at Montreal (video) Sparks are seen on the video of the right inboard axial of the wheel and then the wheel rolls off at high speed as the airplane lifted off. Air Canada (Jazz Aviation) Dash 8-300 lost a wheel on takeoff at Montreal-Trudeau with 49 passengers and a crew of 3 on the way to northern airport Saguenay on Friday afternoon. Plane burnt fuel to reduce weight and returned to Montreal. French passenger with France accent says "It fell off, it fell off". See good video of the axial sparking in News in FrenchPhoto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeker Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Hah! Happens all the time - only difference is that on most airplanes you can't see it because it's under the wing. I know a guy in Toronto who has a side business picking all the wheels that bounce to a stop on Airport Road and returning them to the proper airline.

QFE Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 The big question is "where does a French passenger get a France accent?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southshore Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Best line I saw on another website was "you picked a fine time to leave me, loose wheel." Made me laff out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t stamp “If found, please return to _______” on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
