For all the silly comments made below, the Air Canada pilots did everything by the book and brought the aircraft back in one piece for a safe landing with all souls intact. Well done and a thumbs up to the Air Canada flight crew.
Amen Charles, obviously many of the people posting below have no concept of aircraft safety or the consequences of not following procedures which BTW is how it works. The pilot doesn't just decide to do this or do that, there are strict procedures they must follow when situations occur and you should be thankful they follow them and that Coleen in not your pilot :-)
Not only do I enjoy your raw, up-close, and personal footage of freight air traffic at this elaborate cargo base, I also deeply admire the airfield itself for what it is. Sure, there many not be nowhere near as much air traffic at cargo terminals like Mirabel, but these places are just as crucial to our larger and remote communities as the commercial airline and general aviation terminals. Same goes for the Kansas City Southern Railway's freight-based trains that come through my area multiple times daily. They won't stop here, since there's no train yard available, but they're hauling all kinds of goodies for us - the consumers.
Modern commercial aircraft are designed to lose 1 engine at the most critical moment during takeoff, come around, and land safely. Everyone at Boeing, and the pilots, did their jobs well.
Professional work by all concerned. What was the cause of this engine problem? Did this 787 have the problematic Rolls-Royce engines or the more reliable GE engines?
We are so used to the reliability of today's jet engines that we wet our pants when we hear of one that fails. No matter how good they are or how good they are going to get jet engines will sometimes have problems because they are complex machines and complex machines sometimes fail. The miracle here is that so few have problems.
Nice video here, and this is good for people flying. But there are limits to the care that can be supplied to any patient suffering from really life-threatening pathologies : those cannot benefit from management inflight. This concern patient suffering fro heavy and very acute pathologies and needing deep reanimation that cannot be provided in an airplane.

What id that happened in the middle of the ocean?I don t wet my pants for Air Canada when extra care on a so tech modern aircraft is used for long range flights!
cherifbar maybe their weight was low enough, even if not you don't really want fuel dumping right into possible flame also if you are on fire you want to land ASAP. These planes CAN land overweight
Thanks for that; I never knew they did not have a max landing weight for that type. From my understanding of the recording, there was no fire but a flame out.
As soon as they get on the ground they would want to shut down everything and have the ground crew evaluate things. If there was say a brake fire they wouldn't know as they may not be able to see the gear or something else that is on fire or damaged so they wouldn't want to taxi till they get an OK from the ground. Also the fire equipment has better access if the aircraft if it isn't at the gate should something go wrong.
Right. No biggie. The plane performed as it should in the circumstance. The pilots did a great job of bringing her down safely, and no brake fire. Well done by all!
