But the weather of the government said that the gusts up to 38 miles per hour was coming from the West as it landed. There was also a drifting snow in the Toronto region, which was hit by two snowstorms in recent days.
Jet pilots had told passengers during the flight that there were wind conditions, said Mr Carlson, the Paramedics on the flight. But he and others were still unprepared for the jerk when he came. “It was cement and metal,” he said.
The fact that passengers would have their seat belts for landing, as required by Canadian law, was one of the various factors that limited injuries and contributed to safe evacuation, said John Cox, a former airline pilot and founder Security systems, an aviation consultants.
“By the time the plane stops, everyone is scales. The seats remain attached to the floor and the fuselage stayed together,” he said.
That the exit doors could still be opened were underlined the quality of the plane construction, he added. And the ability of the crew to open these doors, even while upside down and quickly pull out passengers, was a proof of their training.
Mr Carlson, who had visible on his head, said he saw a woman who had ended under a seat and a mother and a boy sitting on the upper limit of the aircraft. He had no idea of ​​what state was one of them, he said. “My father’s instinct and background as a paramedical genre was kicking,” he said, making him focus on ensuring that everyone was falling off the plane.
Even in these panic -stricken moments, there was a tall companionship as they fled the plane, he said. “Everyone on this plane suddenly became very close in terms of how to help each other, how to comfort each other,” he said. “This was strong.”
Jet Fuel was running under the windows of the plane, Mr Carlson said. And after leaving the plane, he and others tried to move as far from it as soon as they observed as possible that a wing was missing and heard explosion sounds.
