Air Canada Flight 624/Halifax Crash

What Happened--------

This flight started from Toronto and was heading to Halifax flying an A320-200. On approach to land it crashed a few feet from the runway and hit a few ILS towers and power grid. His weather in Toronto wasn't bad a light drizzle of snow and his destination at the time of flight wasn't bad either but you see some weather can change within 5-10 minutes and upon approach the weather was too bad the pilot lost where the runway was.

Possibly this was a CATIII landing which most pilots can usually accomplish but it might have gotten worse while going around for another attempt at landing. The weather/winds can change really fast.

What Would I Do?

If i was the pilot i would have noticed how bad the storm was and turned around and headed back to Toronto or found an airport to land that had greater visibility than trying to land somewhere you cant possibly see the runway at!!

Im sure as pilots do they check the destination airports weather and that helps but i don't think they look at what the weather is going to look like at landing...they should have either looked forward in the weather  to how many hours the flight would be at their destinations. Even though no one was harmed on this flight its very interesting that they even tried to land at Halifax in Cat III weather....


Anyways that's all i can say about this flight crash...
