U still work at metrotower @dash ?

Looks like a brutal mva on kingsway/sussex at parking entrance. Police tape everywhere

Yes, I'm still working in Office Tower 1 here at Metrotown - I'm lucky enough to be able to walk to work while in Burnaby, so this won't impact me, but I hope everyone involved is okay. That's a pretty dangerous intersection at the best of times.

In other aviation news, scary pictures from a Southwest flight today that had an engine completely shredded...

Passenger account:

We were leaving LaGuardia heading to Dallas. We were west of Philadelphia probably about 30,000 feet, and all of a sudden we just heard this loud bang, rattling and then it felt like one of the engines went out. The oxygen masks dropped and flight attendants did a good job. The pilot came on and said we're diverting to Philadelphia and, you know, there was a serious medical injury. I don't know much about that, but I was sitting in the front. With a couple passengers. We just got the mask on and as soon as we landed, we were thankful. The pilots did a great job, the crew did a great job. They got us down to Philly, and that's when I took the photo of the engine, and it appeared that it just shredded the left side engine completely. So we were coming down -- we dropped probably from 30,000 feet to 25,000 feet, and then the pilot kind of regained control and brought it down safely to Philadelphia. So we got off the plane and onto buses and we're trying to head over to the tarmac in Philly.

Alaska Airlines - I think the planes have a pretty good safety record, as for their pilots, well...

An Alaska Airlines pilot said a captain drugged and raped her. He still works for the airline.

b) but he's kind of an arrogant douche, so nope.
