Toronto place crash 4

[LittleInch]

A Delta plane appears to have touched a wing tip during landing, ripped the wing off then promptly flipped over onto its back.

As they were on the airfield and this time didn't run into anything or catch fire, everyone is alive, though not surprisingly some injuries.

All passengers survive crash landing as plane flips at Toronto airport

Eighteen of the 80 people on board were injured after the Delta plane overturned on landing.

I wonder if this proposed AD is related to Toronto Crash, and previously extended maintenance intervals allowed by FAA, as mentioned earlier in this thread? Interestingly this references an older Transport Canada AD.

"Summary​

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all MHI RJ Aviation ULC Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701, and 702), CL-600-2C11 (Regional Jet Series 550), CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705), CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900), and CL-600-2E25 (Regional Jet Series 1000) airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a determination that new or more restrictive aircraft maintenance manual (AMM) tasks are necessary. This proposed AD would require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive AMM tasks, as specified in a Transport Canada AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products."

I'm more on the fabricstion side. Never completed my schooling for engineering or my A&P cert. Less stressful welding, machining, and casting for aero, petrochemical, and plastics/rubber industries in job shops. Made some friends on the maintenance side I keep in contact with. Almost went back to reschool for my A&P last year but life did not allow. Covid really threw a wrench in the works and I have not been officially in the aerosoace industry since March 2020; that was mostly DoD and civilian ground support tooling and custom tooling for maintenance techs.

It is quite possible. There's an AD on corrosion at the PCU ball end for the elevator, and AD on structural cracks on wing elements that are being cracked down on recently I am hearing.
