Last Saturday night, 12:36 a.m., Air Canada AC624 airbus from Toronto made a "hard landing" at Halifax Stanfield International Airport.
Heavy snowstorm is in progress, with winds gusting up to 100 km an hour.
Here is the timeline, as I saw it from our house:
A minute later, my wife is awakened by a chorus of sirens from the local police / fire /
ambulance station here in Bedford.
1:30 a.m.: Seaside FM has broken into regular program, and is presenting live tweets, read by Wayne Harnett from his Twitter screen. He states from many sources that there has been a "hard landing" at HSIA, and ALL 138 passengers and crew have been safely evacuated.
Some tweets are already being posted by passengers, beside the wreckage.
