It was a bizarre start to morning for some commuters in Calgary today.
A small plane made a landing in Calgary this morning, however, it wasn’t at the airport. In fact, people riding the train were able to witness the event.
My co-worker seen this on her way to work in Calgary this morning. A plane made an emergency landing on 36st NE during rush hour! He only took out 1 road sign. AMAZING!!! pic.twitter.com/s7LsKEdZUh

Photos on social media show the plane on 36 street NE. Witnesses said the landing occurred during rush hour, and the plane took out a road sign.
@calgarytransit Airplane seen on 36 St NE. Why would anyone use a plane to commute to work when you could take Calgary Transit? pic.twitter.com/tVwPy6P6GK
