Multiple videos shared on social media over the weekend show the shocking moment a WestJet flight out of Toronto made a hard landing in St. Maarten, a tropical destination located in the northeastern Caribbean Sea. The incident occurred on Sunday afternoon at the island's Princess Juliana International Airport and involved a WestJet Boeing 737-800 aircraft, operating as flight WS2276 from Toronto Pearson Airport. Videos taken from several angles show the aircraft made a hard landing at 1:31 p.m., resulting in a small cloud of smoke on the runway. The airport confirmed that despite 164 passengers being onboard, no injuries were reported, although three people were taken for medical evaluation out of an abundance of caution. Today a WestJet B-737 had a right main landing gear collapse while landing at St. Marteen. No one was hurt. Jet [Reg. "C-GWSR"] was operating as Flight WS2276, inbound from Toronto. Updates later. pic.twitter.com/a1T7UEprcm&m...
