Pureheart posts that “This morning’s Air Canada flight … couldn’t land! Runway not cleared! Had to divert to Prince George” Thread starts with people poking fun at the sight of one guy and a shovel trying to clear the runway.

“Flyman” posts, saying that “i find it amusing how little people find out about a subject before they complain and spout off on a subject… Terrace Hawkair flight was diverted to Rupert yesterday … where are all of the complainers now bashing the Terrace airport and its staff with their shovel.”

Oldymoldy wonders “When the captain announces that the run-way is not clear and there is a beautiful blue sky…one has to wonder what prevented the plane from landing!”

In this thread My2Cents mentions that “the crew at Digby were awaiting a part for the plow”
I love Prince Rumour.
