Default TSA and Ottawa....

United Express flight 3363 from Chicago slipped off the runway at the Ottawa Airport at about 3:30 p.m. Sunday as it landed during heavy rain.

The 44 people on board were uninjured, according to airport spokesman Paul Benoit.

Police and firefighters were at the site of the crash.

Rhonda Purvis, who was waiting for her son to arrive on the flight, said that after waiting nearly 45 minutes she began to worry. An airport official rounded up family and friends waiting for passengers to arrive and told them there had been a problem landing but everyone on board was OK.

The airport sent an OC Transpo bus to bring the passengers inside the airport but they were forced to leave all their possessions on the plane. Purvis said it could be a few hours before they would be able to get their things off the plane and through customs.

Just before 5 p.m., Benoit said the passengers were being debriefed.

People who were watching the flight land from inside the airport’s third-floor window, said the plane disappeared into a sheath of rain and pivoted 180 degrees, landing off the runway.

More to come .....

This is the 3rd incident of a regional carrier in the last week. Why won't the media jump all over this and blow it out of proportion like they did with the controller falling asleep. No one was anyway near harm when the controllers were napping but we are having Jets slide of the runways and gears not working!!! I know stop happens but 3 different incidents with 3 different regional carriers. Hope none of these incidents were crews fault and glad to see everyone walk away.

For those curious about rest issues...
This was the last turn for the crew on a 3-day trip. Day 1 was 7 hours duty, 9:51 layover in YYZ, day 2 8:55 duty and 13 hours rest, day 3 is when trip swaps from late shows to 07:20am show, 13:46 duty!

This is scheduled times.. Could have changed due to delays off course.

Wow! I woud say fatigue might pay a part of in this. Also, as mentioned, heavy rain, low vis, and non-grooved runways doesn't help. Here's the METAR around the time of the incident (which from my understanding happened at approx. 1930z):

CYOW 041945Z 30012G18KT 15SM -SHRA OVC030 21/ RERA RMK SC8 CVCTV CLD EMBD
CYOW 041935Z 27013G25KT 1 1/2SM +SHRA OVC030TCU 22/ RMK TCU8
CYOW 041927Z 30010KT 1/2SM +SHRA OVC030TCU 23/ RMK TCU8

It was 840 today. Some of the pics on that website are from the accident last year, but they have captions like they're from today.
