AFAIK CFRYH is still there awaiting or recieving repair. Funny how it took the press 4 days to catch this one.
From what I've heard:
- wx was 1/2sm in fog, 400 overcast, 1400ft rvr
- runway was reported as bare and dry, but the wind was out of the east and the aircraft slid off to the west...
- intial reports had the plane landing half on/half off the runway as it seemed the crew thought there was runway centerline lights, tore through the grass/snow, took out the RW25 hold short sign and proceeded into the missed approach, although apparently there are skidmarks trailing off the edge of 34 and then parralleling it for some 1600ft or so before they became airborn again at/past 25.
- the fuel emergency was declared so as to give them priority sequencing as there were several other aircraft waiting to land.
Thankfully no one was injured.
You start with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.
