Sorry to let you all down, but it's a 777-200. I was there as it came in and during the aftermath, and I'm a pilot at MFC.

boeing 777-200 was the plane that landed with the emergency and the replacement plane was also a boeing 777-200. I work at the airport, have video of both planes and checked the reg numbers for both planes. The replacement plane flew out of JFK enroute to Moncton. Flight Aware also has the info.

[MasterX117]

@dall123451 Wow, you mad bro? I did not think i would make you jelly! Hahaha looks like i got a good reaction out of you, i dont care if its an American plane, it could be a Chinese or Russian plane for all i care but just because its from another fucking country doesnt mean i cant talk french, this is Canada were English and French are welcome to be, if your not from Canada or dont live in Canada then why bother arguing on a French/English Canadian video? Dont bother replying kid.

My wife was on this flight. She is still at the Moncton airport and waiting for the replacement plane to get to the airport. She is going to be very tired when she gets home to Chicago. Unfortunately, I am up in Toronto and there is nothing I can do to help.
