I saw that scene a few times when I worked at YYC, although I'm pretty sure that isn't Calgary. There's no houses on a hill side like that anywhere around the airport, nor those power lines ---

Very scary s**t.

442 SQN earned their pay and hopefully lots of free beers in the mess after evacuating over 300 residents, dogs and cats.
