Flight AC624 from Toronto arrived shortly after midnight (04:00 GMT) and reportedly hit a power pylon after landing. There were stormy conditions at the time, with snow on the ground. Power at Halifax Stanfield International Airport was knocked out but Nova Scotia Power says that it has been restored. Passengers said the plane skidded on its undercarriage before coming to a stop. Randy Hall told Associated Press: "We were just coming in to land and there was a big flash. The plane came down, bang! It jumped up in the air again."
