(NEW YORK POST) An Air Canada commuter plane’s emergency landing turned into a travel nightmare when one of the propellers broke off, smashed through the fuselage and struck a passenger in the head.
“I’m really lucky. It could have been a million times worse,” Christina Kurylo said, according to a Daily Mail report. “I could have died, you know, you never know what could have happened. … All of a sudden I got hit in the head. It was pretty confusing for me. It’s bits and pieces for me after that.”
Air Canada Express Flight 8481 took off from Calgary on Thursday evening for a short flight to Grande Prairie when a tire burst and the captain was diverted to Edmonton for an emergency landing.
