In Otttawa, Canada. A sleepy Air Canada Pilot mistook the planet Venus for antoher plane!

The pilot then took the plane diving toward the Atlantic to prevent an imaginary collision with another plane.

Fourteen passengers and two crew members were hurt

--I think this is sooo stupid! how do you mistake a planet for another plane!?

Thoughts?

  • That is crazy. I don't honestly know how you could mistake a planet for a plane. That pilot is probably in some serious trouble now.

  • Someone was a little under the influence... How about next time he flies sober.a

  • I guess if it was far enough away you could think that.... but I like to hope any pilot I have is a bit more intelligent than this!

  • Either he was intoxicated or he just shouldn't have his pilot's license. I could kind of see how he could make that mistake visually, but shouldn't a plane have radar and stuff?

  • this is rather new, i dont know much about planets and space and stuff like that but im sure venus doesnt look like a plane

  •  This was kind of stupid i agree. But imagine if it would have been a real plane, then he would have save lots of people. I think that he should have made sure first. How could he have mistaken this Venus is a planet not a plane

  • Yeah that is dumb. Besides, they couldn't have been very close to it because it is Venus! Venus doesn't look like a plane.
