EVA Air plane slides into snow at Vancouver airport
Passengers on an EVA Air flight from Taipei to Vancouver became stranded on the plane when it slid off a taxiway and became stuck in a snow drift on Tuesday. On Tuesday, EVA Air Flight BR10 took off from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport bound for Vancouver. According to EVA Air, the plane, a 777-300ER carrying 250 adults and three infants, landed safely at 6:42 p.m. local time that evening. However, due to heavy snowfall, when the aircraft was turning on the taxiway, the landing gear under the plane's nose slid out of control and the plane slipped into a snowbank. After being stranded on the plane for three hours, airport firefighters enabled passengers to deplane and board shuttle buses back to the terminal. The ground crew then gradually moved the aircraft back onto the taxiway.<br/>
