  "account": "The Supreme Court of Nova Scotia has approved an $18 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit related to an Air Canada flight crash landing at Halifax Stanfield International Airport in March 2015. The incident occurred when the plane struck power lines during a snowstorm, causing it to land about 200 metres short of the runway and injuring 25 of the 133 passengers on board. Air Canada, Nav Canada, and the Halifax International Airport Authority will collectively pay the settlement, with $15 million going towards legal fees and expenses. The compensation will be distributed based on a court-approved protocol after the firms conduct individual valuations of each member's claim.",
