Propeller slices through cabin and injures passenger
An Air Canada Express passenger was taken to hospital after a propeller broke loose and cut through the cabin.
Christina Kurylo was on the flight from Calgary to Grande Prairie, operated by Jazz Aviation, which was forced to make an emergency landing at Edmonton after a technical problem.
As the flight landed, the propeller hit the ground and the five blades broke free with one slicing into the side of the plane.
Three passengers received minor injuries while the aircraft sustained substantial damage.
The remaining 67 passengers and four crew members were evaluated by medical responders on the scene and released, Jazz Aviation told the Aviation Herald.
Ms Kurylo was treated for bruising and concussion and told Global News she was lucky to be alive.
"All of a sudden I got hit in the head," she said. "It was pretty confusing for me. It’s bits and pieces for me after that."
