Sunday, an A320 Airbus Air Canada plane landed short of the Halifax runway. The plane hit an antenna which caused a loss of power to the airport, loss of its landing gear, and wrecked one of its engines.

Mike Cunningham, a regional manager of air investigations at the Transportation Safety Board of Canada told CNN that the aircraft touched down about 1,100 feet short of the runway.

Images of the plane show the nose of the plane completely cut off, missing landing gear and a mangled jet engine.

"There was a couple people, all bloodied. Everybody was able to get out, but what was worse was that they left us for an hour outside in the blowing snow," Lianne Clark told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

While the plane received "significant damage," only 23 passengers and two crew members were admitted to hospitals for minor injuries. As of Sunday night, all but one has been released for medical care.

"We at Air Canada are greatly relieved that no one was critically injured," said Klaus Goersch, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Air Canada in an interview with Channel News Asia.

"Yet we fully appreciate this has been a very unsettling experience for our customers and their families, as well as our employees, and we are focused on caring for all those affected."

"Obviously it's too early to draw any conclusions," Cunningham said, "These things are always very complex. It takes quite a bit of time to get to the underlying factors."

Investigations will continue as the plane's black boxes were taken it and engineers will be analyzing the data for exact causes. However, it's worth it to note, that weather conditions were snowy as a winter weather warning was issued for the Nova Scotia area.
