I bet a good chunk of those canadians, if not all, connected from the Toronto-Addis flight that departed yesterday morning from here. It gets in around 7ish am local time in addis. That morning block in addis has alotta departures to destinations within the continent and to the middle east.
That’s the flight profile right after take off. Looks like it peaked at 5000ft and plummeted shortly thereafter.
Look at the airspeed and rate of descent

They need to ground these aircraft worldwide. No use issuing airworthiness directives.
There is a clear design flaw with this shyt and its killing people. Pilot radioed ATC and said he wanted to turn back but never made it.
Even spoke to local air canada pilots who said the plane is trash to fly and they’ve complained about it and hate flying it.
