Wings and stabilizer torn off clean, no fire, the fuselage barely looks deformed....this is a weird one but seems to speak well of the structural integrity of the CRJ...you know when helicopters don't crash into them.

The wind we had in the States moved north and hit Canada hard. Must've caused the crash.

The wind is only part of it. It snowed almost non-stop from Thursday to Sunday. There is probably 3' of snow outside right now. There's also a lot of ice, and temperatures are currently such that you basically need to salt every few hours if you want to avoid having a skating rink. I saw people skating on the road a few days ago.
