Color me skeptical.
FAR's require enough fuel on-board to divert, so what caused low fuel state? Weather? Mechanical?
Per the internet, it's about 680 air miles from the Minneapolis-St Paul airport to Toronto International. The plane has an advertised range of 1500 miles. I am not an CRJ pilot, but is that 1500miles with 90 pax? or does a full pax load limit range? if a full load cuts range, then how much range is lost with a full load of pax/baggage?
Winds were reported 32Gusting to 40, icy runway? what part did weather play?
I'll wait until the AIB results come out before throwing bricks.

I'm just gonna say it - there is one hell of a "made for TV - movie" level conspiracy angle to this...
...some body is in cahoots with the military industrial complex, being bribed by big tobacco, who is in bed with the Hollywood elite, being paid off by big pharma, while lining their pockets with money from the WEF, blackmailing Bill Gates to cover up what really happened on Epstein's Island (because after all - we are talking about planes) while funneling the money to an off shore bank account used as a cover for a CIA black-op using USAID as a cover in order to supply Chinese hookers to target politicians with access and placement to something else that I haven't quite figured out yet.
I've already said too much - I think I'm being watched

This guy has no clue what he's talking about.One angle has the right wing suddenly dipping like wind shear or maybe a lack of separation from an earlier landing. The side angle has the plane's AOA change before it hits/ lands. The two data recorders should be interesting.
Two CRJ crashes in just a few weeks. Still safer than a V-22...

In an interesting coincidence, my wife and I took a short international flight this past week. We connected in Miami, where the Delta plane we were on, which was similar in size to the one that crashed, got grounded temporarily as they had to deal with a bird strike to the landing gear.
Then, when we came home, our small commuter jet got diverted from the regional airport we left from to Philly due to low ceiling. After sitting on the ground in Philly for hours, the pilot decided to try to get us to our original airport. But we got THE SHIT buffetted out of us when he tried to land, and after circling for a while, we got diverted to JFK. Turned a simple trip into a 24 hour ordeal.
I was annoyed, of course, but not pissed off. Pilots don't control the weather. Delta doesn't control the wind. And at the end of the day, I'd rather take a daylong delay than have my flight pictured on the "latest airline disaster" feed on Twitter.
