Not a great day for #AirCanada Flight 901 in Montréal today. We landed, and blew the tire and wheel well. The #A330 aircraft is disabled on the runway, but we’ve been safely removed. pic.twitter.com/TKvdCkTcPU

The aircraft involved in the incident is C-GFAF, a 22.6-year-old Airbus A330-300, delivered in January 2000. It was operating route AC901 from Fort Lauderdale to Montreal at the time.

The incident is likely due to a hard landing by the pilot. Anyway, any landing you can walk away from is a good landing!
