Good old Air Canada
I'm in Germany now, Frankfurt to be precise. Arrived here 4 or 5 hours late due to the quality service of Air Canada. We left Toronto on time, but as we were somewhere over Quebec, the Captain announced that there was some air pocket or some problem with hot air and hydrolics in one of the engines - so we turned around and went back to Toronto.
To make things exciting, the pilot announced that we had to land on the long runway because we were carrzing an incredible amount of fuel, and required the whole length to slow down. So we were greeted by all the emergencz vehicles on the runwaz as we landed - in case we blew up or something. And because we landed with such weight, we had to let the tires cool down and be inspected before heading back to the terminal. So some 4 hours after our original departure, we got a whole new plane and tried again.
And now Iym here with 8 hours to kill before flying onto Rome. I've got some pictures from the landing with all the emergencz vehicles that I will post later.
Ciao.
