Authorities in Canada are looking into reports that falling debris from Air Canada Flight 001 damaged cars in southern Ontario. The Boeing 777 was en route from Toronto to Tokyo Monday afternoon when one of its engines shut down, prompting an emergency landing. But more than an hour before it touched down, people on the ground began reporting that they saw smoke and debris coming from the jet, and several reported damage to their cars. An Air Canada spokesman reported that he could not confirm any debris had fallen, but said, “There will be a full investigation into this incident, as there always is, and that will determine what happened.”
