    Pretty miraculous nobody received anything more than minor injuries in this incident:
    A DHC-8-400 of Air Canada Express suffered a right hand main gear collapse on runway 02/20 at Edmonton International Airport, AB (YEG).
    Preliminary reports indicate that the airplane experienced a blown tire upon take-off from Calgary Airport about 19:41 hours local time. Strong winds at Calgary made the crew decide to divert to Edmonton to carry out a forced landing there.
    Upon landing at Edmonton, the right hand main gear collapsed. A propeller blade of the nr.2 engine broke off, penetrating the fuselage. One passenger was injured after being hit by fibreglass debris. A total of three passengers were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
