The accident left the airport without electric power; it was consequently closed for a period of time. Twenty-three people were injured. On 2 April 2015, Air Canada sent payments of CDN$5000 to all passengers involved.〔(Air Canada Flight 624 passengers receiving $5K cheques from airline; Lawyer Ray Wagner calls it 'a gratuity' and says $5K payments don't change airline's liability ), CBC News, April 2, 2015.〕 A class action lawsuit has been filed in relation to this incident.〔(AC 624 crash: MacGillivray Law to file class action lawsuit; A second lawyer, Ray Wagner, says his firm is considering a class action lawsuit as well ), CBC News, March 30, 2015.〕 ==Accident== Air Canada Flight 624 departed from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) bound for Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ). It was carrying 133 passengers and five crew. The Airbus A320 operating the flight, registration C-FTJP, impacted the ground short of the threshold of runway 05 (which is not equipped for precision landing),〔 smashing through an ILS-LOC antenna array causing the landing gear to separate from the aircraft, and hitting a power line that cut power to the airport, leaving the airport without electric power for about 90 minutes.〔 The aircraft then climbed an embankment up to the runway level, skidded on its belly and stopped past the threshold.〔 The aircraft was extensively damaged, with the loss of all landing gear and port engine. The wings and tailplane were also damaged. Twenty-three passengers were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Both pilots were amongst those taken to hospital. All but one of those taken to hospital were released the same day. The weather at the time of the accident was described as "stormy". The loss of power to the airport may have been due to the aircraft clipping transmission lines before the hitting the runway. Electricity was restored to the airport by 02:12 ADT. While the aircraft collided with objects outside the airport perimeter and was damaged beyond repair Air Canada initially called the accident a ″hard landing″ sparking outrage among some of the passengers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Air Canada Flight 624」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
