The investigation into the Air Canada flight AC624 hard landing in Halifax began Monday.

The Transportation Safety Board, Airbus and Air Canada are working together on the investigation.

The investigation is expected to last a few days.

Highlights from today’s inspection are summarized below.

 

 

All passengers and crew on the plane survived the crash but 23 people were taken to hospital.

The patients have since been released except for one person.

Passengers waited for emergency services on the runway for almost an hour in the wintery weather before crews were able to drive them to the airport.
