Plane landing on avenue du Parc

Yesterday was elliptic_curve's last day in Montréal. At least for a good, long while. We had an absolutely delicious brunch at Réservoir, which is still my favourite gastro-pub. Now even more so, I suppose.
She packed while I took a bit of a nap before washing some dishes. I helped her carry her backpack, which was really top-heavy, to the bus-stop. She was getting on the bus when I heard a sudden bang, some pylons flew apart, and people from the tam-tams started running up Parc avenue. Only later did I discover that it was a Cessna performing an emergency landing.
Instead of indulging my curiousity, I just went home and made pizza dough. Because, you know, taking photographs doesn't put dinner on the table.
