Hrm... turns out this type of aircraft Bombardier Q400 has a somewhat dubious past.

In fact a swedish airline SAS grounded their fleet.. permanatly.
This was due in large part to a series of landing gear failures/incidents. The only other fatal flight accident with this aircraft that I'm aware of was over 15 years ago. While your not far from the truth in suggesting a "dubious past", as the landing gear issues did produce major head aches for Bombardier, and groundings for carriers, so far the flight record has been pretty good.....

Again, we'll have to wait and see.
