The Air Canada plane which made an emergency landing in Toronto this morning may have had an oil pressure problem. The oil pressure gauge indicated low levels, prompting the plane to turn back around for Toronto. The 7-67 was bound for Kingston, Jamaica. Some of the 173 passengers were hurt in the evacuation of the plane but the injuries are not believed to be serious. Authorities have also been quick to point out that the situation is not linked to terrorist activity. The passengers are being put on a different plane and will be flown out later this afternoon.
