If "upside down and wings snapped off" is merely an "incident"...

How the hell do you land a plane like that upside down?

Well, one of the egressing passengers filming his experience said “well, we just landed in Toronto…”

I can't even imagine the gyrations it must have gone through to shed every appendage. Yet they were able to keep it on centre-line, go figure

Strong crosswinds on an icy surface, with pilots under pressure from the airline because of the weather disruptions of the past week and, on this particular flight, because of a late departure...
The holes in the Swiss cheese appear to have lined up.

And not only that, everyone walked away from the crash. So far reports are stating only eight people injured. Someone's Guardian Angel(s) was working over time!!

Fifteen injured is the latest I've seen, three critically: one taken to Sick Kids, two 60+. I'm guessing they did not walk away.

Adrenaline is a hell of a drug…

Once that bleeds off (no pun intended) everything hurts.

I guess this is the reason they tell you pack clean gitch in your carry on...
That would have been ACA621 but there was a freighter that went in as a result of faulty loading in the early 70s, crew died in that one, and ACA189 around 1978 from an aborted T/O with 2 dead and then of course Air France airbus but everyone walked

I remember that one. Off the runway, and ditched 50 feet into Etobicike Creek. There were over 100 injured

Not well, and it may not buff out.
The missus and I were commenting on how we are so not the generation that video records while doing an emergency exit of an aircraft. It would take me half an hour just to figure out how to set it to video.
Then images of folks just hanging around the fuselage while being doused with a water cannon. Unless helping with the evacuation, I would be safely 'over there'.
It will be interesting to see if a lot of the relatively minor injuries are head/neck/shoulder from releasing the seatbelt while you are still hanging from it.
