I was on the ramp watching when that one crashed at Goose Bay. Still remember it 25 years later.

Add that to an increasing wind vector and who knows what could happen

Bombardier builds factory. Russia naturalizies factory for security reasons ( just like oil and media). Russia now builds its own Q400s and sells them to other countries like China.

I hope by looking at the history of the AC and Jazz pilots that WJ has learned how not to do it

Maybe it was an agitated waveloud or decreasing wind vector
