TSB not ruling out weather as factor after plane slides off runway in Toronto
It's too soon to know how and why an Air Canada plane arriving from Halifax slid off the runway at Toronto's Pearson International early Saturday — but investigators aren't ruling out that weather may have been a factor, the Transportation Safety Board says. Saturday, TSB regional manager of air investigations Ewan Tasker said 2 investigators were deployed to gather information about the incident, which took place shortly after midnight in heavy fog and rain. Initial findings show that during its landing sequence, Flight 623 travelled through the grass on the western side of the runway, eventually coming to a stop on the centre line, said Tasker. The flight carried 118 people, though it's unknown if that number includes crew members. No injuries were reported. <br/>
