Tip of taxiing WestJet plane appeared to hit tail of parked CC-130H Hercules.
A WestJet plane taxiing at Comox Valley Airport for a flight to Edmonton collided with a parked CC-130H Hercules military plane shortly after noon on Wednesday.“All guests and crew were safely offloaded from the aircraft and there have been no reported injuries as a result of this incident,” said company spokesperson Denise Kenny.Passenger Danielle Homeniuk and her teenager were in the sixth row of the WestJet plane when it came into contact with the Hercules.
She compared the feeling with being rear-ended in a vehicle but said her head did not hit the seat in front. But her teenager has neck strain and a visit to the doctor is planned once they return home.One flight attendant fell toward a passenger but a “second flight attendant kind of caught her,” Homeniuk said. She thinks the jolt happened as a result of the pilot hitting the plane’s brakes hard.
