Update: TSB Investigation into runway impact at Toronto/Lester B. Pearson International Airport
Since the late evening of February 17, investigators from the Transportation Safety Board have been on-site at Toronto/Lester B. Pearson International Airport following the impact upon landing of an Endeavor Air CRJ-900 aircraft manufactured by Bombardier.
Since then, the TSB has been coordinating with officials from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board, the Federal Aviation Administration, the manufacturer of the aircraft, the airline, and countless other organizations to find out what happened and why.
Much work has been conducted, and much work remains. The investigation is still in the field phase and investigators are working tirelessly to complete work at the site. Efforts have begun to remove the aircraft from the runway, and it will be moved to a hangar where it will undergo further examination. The site will be released following further examination and clean-up.
More information can be found on the investigation page.
Photos and video from the site are also available.
The TSB is an independent agency that investigates air, marine, pipeline, and rail transportation occurrences. Its sole aim is the advancement of transportation safety. It is not the function of the Board to assign fault or determine civil or criminal liability.
