The Bombardier CRJ900 aircraft that crashed in Toronto on Monday was built with safety features that played a crucial role in the survival of all 80 people on board, according to aviation analyst Peter Goelz. The aircraft's design allowed for a quick evacuation following a hard landing caused by a strong gust of wind, which resulted in the plane tipping over and a wing tearing off.
Goelz explained that the impact of the crash led to a fire in the fuel cells located in the wing, while the plane's tail was designed to break off in such situations. Despite 18 injuries reported, the passengers' lives were saved due to the effectiveness of the safety measures implemented in the aircraft.
