Jazz Dash 8 and Menzies Fuel Truck Collide in YYZ

I don't know who ran into who, but I've seen airport vehicles ripping around the ramp with basically no care at all in YYZ, especially late at night.

From the angle in the video I'd say the truck backed into the passing dash. Or he was going super fast forward and did a swerving power slide into it. My money is on the truck causing it though. Worked that ramp, and I agree vehicles just go whipping around it.

"According to Peel Regional Police Sgt. Bancroft Wright, the tanker truck struck the plane and the driver has been charged with dangerous operation of a vehicle under the federal Aviation Act.

"The plane was pretty much written off," Wright told CBC Toronto.

The pilot, co-pilot, a flight attendant and two passengers were treated for injuries, according to Wright."

Jazz taxing to fast. If they'd taxi at 7 kts or less like I do it wouldn't have happen. No different than the Toronto yahoos going 100 km/hr on 401. Cut speed to 50 and be less accidents and lower insurance premiums.

If you've ever held an AVOP (airside vehicle operators permit), you'd know that aircraft always have the right-of-way. The taxi speed of an aircraft is not relevant in this context. The vehicle must ALWAYS give way to an aircraft that is moving. If a vehicle hits a plane it is pretty much always the fault of the vehicle operator.

Sweet Jesus,

How in the world do you collide with the front of the aircraft, swing around missing the prop and wing and hit the tail. The one picture makes it look like the truck hit the plane, backed up around the plane and went to far and struck it again....

Hope the crew is doing well, based on the one picture if I was the Captain i'd be pretty shaken up.

It didn't miss the prop. All 4 blades on the number 1 engine are damaged.

The plane swung around that’s what I was told. The fuel bowser probably weighed twice as much as the plane. Baggage door area is smashed pretty bad too. Damn lucky there wasn’t a fire.

I have 10 bucks on texting and driving, I see it all the time! Anyone taxing at 7 kts, except in a 90 degree turn, should be sh*t.

From the CBC:

“It was at that point that the evacuation began. Passengers were forced to jump from the plane onto the tarmac below. Frontczak said the process was somewhat chaotic.”

I’m not familiar with the Dash, but it has no slides, I guess? Even little ones?

I had a guy pick up his phone while pushing my plane back once. These companies want to pay minimum wage: They get minimum wage quality.

Sorry AME S license holders, you're being replaced with police officers.
