I figured I would make a separate thread for this. I posted in the other thread but this is looking bad.
According the the information out there, this was down to the pilot(s) not properly landing the plane. No one was killed thankfully and most people on the plane sustained minimal to no injuries but this could have been WAY worse. The runway conditions and everything were fine.
Usually when a plane lands, it does a softer landing where you will see it bounce on the rear landing gear and then the front wheels come into contact and the plane eventually slows to a stop. The contact happens at the back first and then the nose and it is done in a manner to prevent the weight from throwing the plane out of control. This plane was taken into the runway so hard that it buckled, snapped, and flipped.
Here is a video of a different plane landing, to see how soft is should look:
Here is the plane in Toronto landing:
And here is Tim pulling together a bunch of details:
