Glad EYE wasn't on that commuter jet!

I'll check, but that flight from Boston might
have originated out of Bangor. The timing is
about right.....

Nothing in my hometown news about it so far.

Looking at the video, I suspect there could well be some injured passengers on the feeder jet!

I hope they were still belted in their seats but know that people seem to unstrap and get up as soon as the jet leaves the runway, I guess she was heading towards her stand.

NOPE!

ComAir has off-and-on offered a late day
flight from BGR to BOS to JFK, but I can't
find one on the current schedule. Perhaps
they're only doing it in the summer these days......

Oh, and evidently no one was hurt in the abrupt
turn to port......

You BET!

And that Comair Commuter is no tiny little
aircraft, either!

80 to 90 I think is the capacity.....

I've also read that the port wing on the Comair
was basically Toasted.......

It will be interesting to find out what transpires!

Wingmen and marshallers required!
