Photographer’s remark
188931 Part of a CF- 18 jet broke off during a fly-by at the Molson Indy. The door to the plane's luggage pod fell into Lake Ontario and was recovered by Toronto Police. At this point officials expect it to be a mechanical malfunction, but the investigation is ongoing. The pilot didn't even know the meter-long piece had dropped off until notified by his wingman. He then made a safe landing at Pearson International Airport.
